The problem I see is size: Tamito's codecs have an installed size of 1790kB while Hisao's codecs are around 81kB.
You cannot compare size of untared files here. Tamito's codecs package contains source of C version and Python version. About 1 MB in 1790kB is size of C sources. So, I'm proposing to add only C version of codec from JapaneseCodecs package. As I mentioned, size of C version is about 160 KB in Win32 binary form, excluding tests and documentations. I don't see a significant difference between them. If size of C sources(about 1 MB) is matter, we may be able to reduce it.
That's why I was suggesting to use Hisao's codecs as default and to revert to Tamito's in case they are installed (much like you'd use cStringIO instead of StringIO if it's installed).
Hmm, I assume cStringIO is installed always. I use StringIO only if I want to subclass StringIO class. -------------------------- Atsuo Ishimoto ishimoto@gembook.org Homepage:http://www.gembook.jp
