[issue1097797] Encoding for Code Page 273 used by EBCDIC Germany Austria

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

In changeset d843a1caba78 (I screwed up the issue number in the commit), I 
added aliases according to 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-charsets/2002JulSep/0153.html plus 
what appears to be the conventional alias of just the number, and added it to 
the codecs docs, making a wild guess based on the issue title that the Language 
is German.

The consensus is that this should have gone into Python years ago.

See the Makefile in that directory - that's what I use to build the
codecs.

If you just want to create a single codec, have a look at the
gencodec.py module doc-string.

Like I said a few years: this can go in. Python is used a lot in the
financial industry.

The code page is referenced in this RFC:

http://rfc.dotsrc.org/rfc/rfc1345.html

This page has a good comparison of the various IBM code pages as shipped
with different tools (jdk, glibc, aix, etc.):

"Old IBM Mainframes" are widely used in the financial industry. It 
would be good if the patch is included

A Google search for "cp273 encoding" reveals that at least one other
person needed it:

Looks like it was never included. I guess '"old" IBM Mainframes' is a
dwindling user base, should this one be closed?
