In what sense is "Latin-1" the official name? The IANA charset registry has the following listing Name: ISO_8859-1:1987 [RFC1345,KXS2] MIBenum: 4 Source: ECMA registry Alias: iso-ir-100 Alias: ISO_8859-1 Alias: ISO-8859-1 (preferred MIME name) Alias: latin1 Alias: l1 Alias: IBM819 Alias: CP819 Alias: csISOLatin1 (See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets) "Latin-1" spelling does appear in various unicode.org documents, but not in machine readable files as far as I can tell. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
