I'm having a problem trying to use the codecs package to aid me in converting some bytes from EBCDIC into ASCII.
Which EBCDIC variant?
sEBCDIC = unicode(sSource, 'cp500', 'ignore')
Are you sure CP500 is the EBCDIC variant for the language you want? http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1345.txt lists it as: &charset IBM500 &rem source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990 &alias CP500 &alias ebcdic-cp-be &alias ebcdic-cp-ch
Obviously I could just knock up a 255 character lookup table and do it myself, I was just trying to be a little more Pythonic and use that built in table.
It's pythonic to implement a Unicode codec for unknown character tables. I've put these two on my web site:
