@ -69,14 +69,14 @@ environmental data to Python str objects ([1]).
On POSIX systems, Python currently applies the locale's encoding to
convert the byte data to Unicode, failing for characters that cannot
be decoded. With this PEP, non-decodable bytes >= 128 will be
represented as lone half surrogate codes U+DC80..U+DCFF. Bytes below
represented as lone surrogate codes U+DC80..U+DCFF. Bytes below
128 will produce exceptions; see the discussion below.
To convert non-decodable bytes, a new error handler ([2]) "utf8b" is
introduced, which produces these half surrogates. On encoding, the
error handler converts the half surrogate back to the corresponding
byte. This error handler will be used in any API that receives or
produces file names, command line arguments, or environment variables.

The error handler interface is extended to allow the encode error
handler to return byte strings immediately, in addition to returning
