patch removes dependencies on the old unsupported KoreanCodecs package
and the alternative JapaneseCodecs package. Since both of those
provide aliases for their codecs, this removal just makes the generic
codec names work.
We needed to make slight changes to __init__() as well.
This will be backported to Python 2.3 when its branch freeze is over.
Charset: Alias __repr__ to __str__ for debugging.
header_encode(): When calling quopriMIME.header_encode(), set
maxlinelen=None so that the lower level function doesn't (also) try to
wrap/fold the line.
encoding flag SHORTEST means to return the shortest encoding between
base64 and qp. This is used for the header_enc for utf-8. SHORTEST
isn't legal for body_enc.
Also some code cleanup:
- use True/False everywhere
- use == instead of `is' in a few places
- added _unicode() and make consistent the "is unicode" checks
- update docstrings
non-us-ascii character sets in headers and bodies. Some API changes
(with DeprecationWarnings for the old APIs). Better RFC-compliant
implementations of base64 and quoted-printable.
Updated test cases. Documentation updates to follow (after I finish
writing them ;).
