Hisao SUZUKI has just recently uploaded a patch to SF which includes codecs for the Japanese encodings EUC-JP, Shift_JIS and ISO-2022-JP and wants to contribute the code to the PSF. The advantage of his codecs over the ones written by Tamito KAJIYAMA (http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~rd6t-kjym/python/) lies in the fact that Hisao's codecs are small (88kB) and written in pure Python. This makes it much easier to adapt the codecs to special needs or to correct errors. Provided Hisao volunteers to maintain these codecs, I'd like to suggest adding them to Python's encodings package and making them the default implementations for the above encodings. Ideal would be if we could get Hisao and Tamito to team up to support these codecs (I put him on CC). Adding the codecs to the distribution would give Python a very good argument in the Japanese world and also help people working with XML or HTML targetting these locales.
