[Python-Dev] PEP 383 update: utf8b is now the error handler (original) (raw)

The name "utf8b" suggested in the PEP is not in line with the codec design

Where is that design documented, and how exactly violates the name the design (chapter and verse, please).

Error handlers and codecs are two different things, so the namespaces need to be clearly separate.

They are separate naemspaces; that's guaranteed by the implementation.

Regards, Martin
