On http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/codecs.html it says that ---- Possible values for errors are 'strict' (raise an exception in case of an encoding error), 'replace' (replace malformed data with a suitable replacement marker, such as '?'), 'ignore' (ignore malformed data and continue without further notice), 'xmlcharrefreplace' (replace with the appropriate XML character reference (for encoding only)) and 'backslashreplace' (replace with backslashed escape sequences (for encoding only)) as well as any other error handling name defined via register_error(). ----- shouldn't the 'surrogateescape' error handler from http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/os.html#file-names-command-line-arguments-and-environment-variables be mentioned here as well?

Georg, it would also be nice to give a link to 'surrogateescape' information in os module [1]. Yes, you gave a link to PEP 383, but PEP harder to follow and more lengthy. [1]: http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/os.html#file-names-command-line-arguments-and-environment-variables
