2009/4/22 "Martin v. Löwis" <martin at v.loewis.de>:
To convert non-decodable bytes, a new error handler "python-escape" is introduced, which decodes non-decodable bytes using into a private-use character U+F01xx, which is believed to not conflict with private-use characters that currently exist in Python codecs.
Why not use U+DCxx for non-UTF-8 encodings too?
Overall I like the PEP: I think it's the best proposal so far that doesn't put an heavy burden on applications that only want to do simple things with the API.
