New submission from Ray.Allen <[email protected]>:

According to PEP 383, the new "surrogateescape" error handler of codecs should 
begin to appear since Python3.1, but in the trunk I found some code have 
already used it:

Modules/_io/fileio.c:

static int
fileio_init(PyObject *oself, PyObject *args, PyObject *kwds){
    ...
    stringobj = PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(
                u, Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, "surrogateescape");
    ...

Obviously, the "surrogateescape" error handler not exists. 

Some test code:
===========================
import io

file_name = u'\udc80.txt'
f = io.FileIO(file_name)
===========================

When run this piece of code on a machine whose file system default encoding is 
gb2312, will raise an exception:

LookupError: unknown error handler name 'surrogateescape'

I don't know weather this is a bug?

Thanks.
