Python 2.6.4 (Win32): Anyone have any explanation for the following encodings.idna.ToASCII( unicodeStr ) != unicodeStr.encode( 'idna' )
Given that other processes may have to use the output of these methods, what is the recommended technique? Demonstration: >>> import encodings.idna >>> name = u'junk\xfc\xfd.txt' >>> name u'junk\xfc\xfd.txt' >>> encodings.idna.ToASCII( name ) 'xn--junk.txt-95ak' >>> name.encode( 'idna' ) 'xn--junk-3rag.txt' >>> encodings.idna.ToUnicode( encodings.idna.ToASCII( name ) ) u'junk\xfc\xfd.txt' >>> name.encode( 'idna' ).decode( 'idna' ) u'junk\xfc\xfd.txt' The good news is that the encodings.idna and string idna transformations appear to properly mirror when used with their matching transformation. The bad news is that encodings.idna and the equivalent str transformations can't be intermixed. Malcolm
