""" Standard "encodings" Package
Standard Python encoding modules are stored in this package
directory.
Codec modules must have names corresponding to standard lower-case
encoding names with hyphens mapped to underscores, e.g. 'utf-8' is
implemented by the module 'utf_8.py'.
2000-03-10 19:17:24 -04:00
Each codec module must export the following interface:
* getregentry() -> (encoder, decoder, stream_reader, stream_writer)
The getregentry() API must return callable objects which adhere to
the Python Codec Interface Standard.
In addition, a module may optionally also define the following
APIs which are then used by the package's codec search function:
* getaliases() -> sequence of encoding name strings to use as aliases
Alias names returned by getaliases() must be standard encoding
names as defined above (lower-case, hyphens converted to
underscores).
