OK, let's come up with a patch that fixes the incomplete byte sequences problem and then discuss non-stream APIs.

So, what should the next step be? I think your first patch should be taken as a basis for that. Add the state-supporting decoding C functions, and change the stream readers to use them.

OK, I've updated the patch.

That still leaves the issue of the last read operation, which I'm tempted to leave unresolved for Python 2.4.

Agreed! This shouldn't be done for Python 2.4.

No matter what the solution is, it would likely require changes to all codecs, which is not good.

True, but the changes should be rather trivial for most.

Bye, Walter Dörwald
