Silverlight (at the CLR level) only includes UTF8 - no other encodings are
available. That's the reason why latin_1 isn't available (which makes sense)

less sense as I think we're just missing the .NET exception to map it onto).
We could certainly fix the missing UnicodeEncodeError but for latin-1
you could probably publish your own latin_1_encode method into the
codecs module.
Ok. Even though it's still annoying at least it makes sense now. :-)

Subject: [IronPython] Silverlight: UnicodeEncodeError not defined and other
encoding issues
Hey all,
Using Silverlight 2.6.1 RC:
NameError: global name UnicodeEncodeError is not defined
Oops (and a problem for us).
Also: 'some string'.encode('latin-1') results in:
LookupError: unknown encoding: latin-1
If I then add the codecs and encodings standard library modules to our
application I get the following exception:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'latin_1_encode'
The error is in line 17 of the encodings/latin_1.py module:
encode = codecs.latin_1_encode
This unfortunately kills a fair bit of Python code and means I'm going
to have to rewrite a chunk of the library we're using. :-(
Thanks
Michael Foord
