from email.charset.ALIASES most of them failed to be recognize by codecs module.


>>> for i in email.charset.ALIASES.keys():
...     try:
...         codecs.lookup(i)
...     except LookupError:
...         print("Not recognized by codecs : alias {} mapped to {}".format(i, email.charset.ALIASES[i]))
...     
...
