This definition is funny, because according to Wikipedia, it is a "superset" of 8869-1 ( latin1) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cp1252 Also, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin1 There is confusion there. The iso8859-1 does in fact not define the control codes in range 128 to 158, whereas the Unicode page Latin 1 does. Strictly speaking, then, a Latin1 (or more specifically, ISO8859-1) decoder should error on these characters. the 'Latin1' codec therefore is not a true 8859-1 codec.

See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin-1_Supplement_(Unicode_block) for the latin-1 supplement, not to be confused with 8859-1. The header of the 8859-1 page is telling:

""" ISO/IEC 8859-1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Latin1) For the Unicode block also called "Latin 1", see Latin-1 Supplement (Unicode block). For the character encoding commonly mislabeled as "ISO-8859-1", see Windows-1252. """
