People keep complaining that they get Unicode errors when funny characters start showing up in their inputs.
In some cases, these people would apparantly be happy if Python would just "keep going", IOW, they want to get moji-bake (garbled characters), instead of exceptions that abort their applications.
I'd like to add a static property unicode.errorhandling, which defaults to "strict". Applications could set this to "replace" or "ignore", silencing the errors, and risking loss of data.
What do you think?
Regards, Martin
