I noticed that Python does not understand the codec alias names latin7 = iso8859-13, latin9 = iso8859-15 (see http://docs.python.org/lib/standard-encodings.html).
Particularly latin9 is pretty popular here in Western Europe since it contains the Euro symbol (contrary to latin1). According to the Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO-8859), the latin7 and latin9 aliases seem to be official, at least they are widely used an accepted. In PostgreSQL, LATIN9 is even the name of the charset, and iso8859-15 is the alias name: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/multibyte.html#CHARSET-TABLE Is there anything speaking against adding these as aliases? If no, I would submit a patch. (Also, Python does not support the latin10=iso8859-16 charset. I could try to add that as well.) -- Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
