[PyPy-issue] [issue402] codecs are broken in pypy-c

[Alfredo Deza]

Alfredo Deza <alfredodeza at gmail.com> added the comment:

The ``codecs`` module in pypy is behaving differently than CPython 2.5 and 2.6. The issue comes 
when you want to register a custom encoding. PyPy raises a syntax error because it was unable to 
"translate" via the registered codec.

If it gets executed with Python, no exception is raised because the registered encoding with the search 
function is actually translating correctly.

To replicate I have uploaded a tar.gz with 2 files. One file with a custom "foobar" encoding called 
custom_encoding.py. The other file is called foobar.py and this is the file in charge of doing exec on 
custom_encoding.py

To replicate the issue:

# this doesn't raise an exception
python foobar.py

# this raises a syntax error
pypy foobar.py

I'm using pypy v 1.4.1
