+1 Users who want to use other codec packages can easily do so, installing them in packages and then redirecting Python to use these by patching encoding.aliases.aliases to point to the codecs in the package rather than Python's default one. This is best done in sitecustomize.py.

Thanks!

Then, I'll apply the patch into CVS if no strong objection is raised until this Saturday.
