I believe I am using Tamito KAJIYAMA's codecs, from:
http://pseudo.grad.sccs.chukyo-u.ac.jp/~kajiyama/python/
Or were you thinking about some different Japanese codecs? The ones
at this url are BSD-ish and so should be compatible with the PSF
license, GPL, etc.

All good points. I still think that by giving more visibility to the
codecs (i.e. adding them to the Python distro) would help bring muscle
to the effort.

Agreed on both points!
