Hi,
I've released JapaneseCodecs 1.4.9. The source tarball is
available at the following locations:
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~rd6t-kjym/python/
http://www.python.jp/Zope/download/JapaneseCodecs
Major changes in this release are as follows:
- Changed the corresponding character to 0x2140 in JIS X 0208
from U+005C (REVERSE SOLIDUS) to U+FF3C (FULLWIDTH REVERSE
SOLIDUS).
- Improved the compatibility of the UCS to MBCS mapping in
MS932 with Windows. (Thanks to Atsuo ISHIMOTO and Masayuki
MORIYAMA)
- Improved encode() so that it accepts both Unicode and string
objects.
- Improved UnicodeError messages so that 32-bit Unicode code
points are properly escaped in the form \UXXXXXXXX.
- Added japanese.windows-31j, an alias of japanese.ms932.
Regards,
