R David Murray e5cb836d4c #7475: Remove references to '.transform' from transform codec docstrings. 2014-03-13 20:54:30 -04:00
Serhiy Storchaka 94ee389308 Issue #19619: Blacklist non-text codecs in method API
str.encode, bytes.decode and bytearray.decode now use an
internal API to throw LookupError for known non-text encodings,
rather than attempting the encoding or decoding operation and
then throwing a TypeError for an unexpected output type.

The latter mechanism remains in place for third party non-text
encodings.

Georg Brandl 02524629f3 #7475: add (un)transform method to bytes/bytearray and str, add back codecs that can be used with them from Python 2. 2010-12-02 18:06:51 +00:00
Walter Dörwald 42748a8d6d Rip out all codecs that can't work in a unicode/bytes world:
base64, uu, zlib, rot_13, hex, quopri, bz2, string_escape.

However codecs.escape_encode() and codecs.escape_decode()
still exist, as they are used for pickling str8 objects
(so those two functions can go, when the str8 type is removed).

Thomas Wouters a977329b6f Merge part of the trunk changes into the p3yk branch. This merges from 43030
(branch-creation time) up to 43067. 43068 and 43069 contain a little
swapping action between re.py and sre.py, and this mightily confuses svn
merge, so later changes are going in separately.

This merge should break no additional tests.

The last-merged revision is going in a 'last_merge' property on '.' (the
branch directory.) Arbitrarily chosen, really; if there's a BCP for this, I
couldn't find it, but we can easily change it afterwards ;)

Marc-André Lemburg 26e3b681b2 Patch #462635 by Andrew Kuchling correcting bugs in the new
codecs -- the self argument does matter for Python functions (it
does not for C functions which most other codecs use).

Marc-André Lemburg 2d9204199f This patch changes the way the string .encode() method works slightly
and introduces a new method .decode().

The major change is that strg.encode() will no longer try to convert
Unicode returns from the codec into a string, but instead pass along
the Unicode object as-is. The same is now true for all other codec
return types. The underlying C APIs were changed accordingly.

Note that even though this does have the potential of breaking
existing code, the chances are low since conversion from Unicode
previously took place using the default encoding which is normally
set to ASCII rendering this auto-conversion mechanism useless for
most Unicode encodings.

The good news is that you can now use .encode() and .decode() with
much greater ease and that the door was opened for better accessibility
of the builtin codecs.

As demonstration of the new feature, the patch includes a few new
codecs which allow string to string encoding and decoding (rot13,
hex, zip, uu, base64).
