(BTW, makeunicodedata.py checks that maximum decomposed length of a character is < 19, but it would be better if it would compute and define a named constant, say MAXDLENGTH, to be used instead of literal 20.) As far as I (and a two-line script) can tell the maximum length of a canonical decomposition of a character is 4. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10254> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
