From 988ad2bdff836665f004c285fb09182c35775fd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Marc-Andr=C3=A9=20Lemburg?= Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 14:45:35 +0000 Subject: Changed .getaliases() support to register the new aliases in the encodings package aliases mapping dictionary rather than in the internal cache used by the search function. This enables aliases to take advantage of the full normalization process applied to encoding names which was previously not available. The patch restricts alias registration to new aliases. Existing aliases cannot be overridden anymore. --- Lib/encodings/__init__.py | 16 ++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/Lib/encodings/__init__.py b/Lib/encodings/__init__.py index 8df9020..51ec873 100644 --- a/Lib/encodings/__init__.py +++ b/Lib/encodings/__init__.py @@ -18,8 +18,9 @@ * getaliases() -> sequence of encoding name strings to use as aliases - Alias names returned by getaliases() must be lower-case. - + Alias names returned by getaliases() must be standard encoding + names as defined above (lower-case, hyphens converted to + underscores).
