[Python-Dev] Fwd: viewVC shows traceback on non utf-8 module markup

[Michael Foord]

I know that the svn repo is now for legacy purposes only, but I doubt it 
is intended that the online source browser should raise exceptions.

(See report below.)

All the best,

Michael

Hi,
here is a report, I found some module markup shows traceback.

like this:
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/heapq.py?view=markup

>  UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe7 in position 1428: invalid continuation byte

I do not know about latin-1 coding, this is just note what I found at
that position It's "\xe7"

>  ... by Fran\xe7o  ...

and as I read the traceback, viewvc and pygment assumes utf-8
encoding, its hard-coded.

Other modules which use non- utf8 encoding (searched by grep -r coding\: *.py)
inspect, pydoc were ok. tarfile, shlex were not.



Excute me for my writting broken English.
