Hello!

I just submitted a patch to integrate CJKCodecs into python. (http://www.python.org/sf/873597) As I remember, the problems mentioned on a previous discussion about this are these three: 1) Size Python+CJKCodecs is just 102% of the original by source size and 104% by source line counts. Installed binary size is about 2.5MB. I think it's not a big size for todays harddisks. 2) Backward Compatibility with C/J/K Codecs with ChineseCodecs: it's perfectly compatible except ChineseCodecs' trivial bugs. with JapaneseCodecs: it's now compatible enough to use. the only difference is ISO-2022-JP's error handling for bytes set MSB which is very unusual and invalid. with KoreanCodecs: it's perfectly compatibie. 3) Maintenance I can maintain it on Python CVS by myself now. :) And I put cjkcodecs files into Modules/cjkcodecs/, but I can't sure this is the right place to put them. Any opionions will be appreciated.

I like it except for the module names of the underlying C modules. Could you group them under a common prefix, e.g. cjk ?!

Even better would be to put them into a package, but I'm not sure whether that would complicate the setup.

Thank you!

Thank you for contributing these !

Since this is a major contribution, we will probably have to ask you to sign one of the contribution agreements that we are currently having in the legal review queue. Would that pose a problem ?
