Data obtained from other sources may conflict with data produced
by this PEP. Dealing with such conflicts is out of scope of the PEP.
This PEP allows to "smuggle" bytes in character strings. This would
be a security risk if the bytes are security-critical when interpreted
as characters on a target system, such as path name separators. For
this reason, the PEP rejects smuggling bytes below 128. If the target
system uses EBCDIC, such smuggled bytes may still a security risk,
allowing to smuggle, e.g. square brackets or the backslash. Python
currently does not support EBCDIC, so this should not be a problem in
practice. Anybody porting Python to an EBCDIC system might want to
adjust the error handlers, or come up with other approaches to address
the security risks.
