I miss mUTF-7 support (as used to encode IMAP4 mailbox names) in Python, in the codecs module. As an european with a language with 27 different letters (instead of english 26), tildes, opening question marks, etc., I find it very inconvenient.
This encoding is used basically only in IMAP4, I know. But IMAP4 is an important protocol and all projects related to it needs mUTF-7 support if they care about non-english alphabets. Everybody has already an implementation, waste of effort. We already support quite amusing encodings in <https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings>. What do you think?. Could be considered for Python 3.5?. I volunteer for the job, of course. PS: Do you think a Python implementation would be good enough?. I don't think this need to be C-fast. -- Jesús Cea Avión _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ j...@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ Twitter: @jcea _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ jabber / xmpp:j...@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz
