str.encode, bytes.decode and bytearray.decode now use an
internal API to throw LookupError for known non-text encodings,
rather than attempting the encoding or decoding operation and
then throwing a TypeError for an unexpected output type.
The latter mechanism remains in place for third party non-text
encodings.
PyByteArray_Resize() failure: leave the bytearray object in an consistent state.
If growth < 0, handling the memory allocation failure is tricky here because
the bytearray object has already been modified. If lo != 0, the operation is
completed, but a MemoryError is still raised and the memory block is not
shrinked. If lo == 0, the bytearray is restored in its previous state and a
MemoryError is raised.
The zlib and hex codecs throw custom exception types with
weakref support if the input type is valid, but the data
fails validation. Make sure the exception chaining in the
codec infrastructure can wrap those as well.
The utf-16* and utf-32* encoders no longer allow surrogate code points
(U+D800-U+DFFF) to be encoded.
The utf-32* decoders no longer decode byte sequences that correspond to
surrogate code points.
The surrogatepass error handler now works with the utf-16* and utf-32* codecs.
Based on patches by Victor Stinner and Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu.
- output type errors now redirect users to the type-neutral
convenience functions in the codecs module
- stateless errors that occur during encoding and decoding
will now be automatically wrapped in exceptions that give
the name of the codec involved
