""" Standard "encodings" Package
Standard Python encoding modules are stored in this package
directory.
Codec modules must have names corresponding to standard lower-case
Marc-Andre's third try at this bulk patch seems to work (except that his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he deleted were already absent). Checkin messages: New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long(). - new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode() - added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString() - new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new APIs) - shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>) - tests for all of the above Unicode compares and contains checks: - comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this) - contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through Better testing support for the standard codecs. Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec. Changes: - PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these are still silently ignored. - string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and float(). The error strings are now a little different, but the type still remains the same. These functions are now ready to get declared obsolete ;-) - PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and still does) Followed by: Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py seem to have a bug too). I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains() and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected the join() NameError).

encoding names with hyphens mapped to underscores, e.g. 'utf-8' is
implemented by the module 'utf_8.py'.

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 lower-case.
