Except that cp1252 is not unicode.  Perhaps some subset of unicode can
be encoded into bytes using cp1252.  But if it works for you keep using
it, and stop spreading nonsense about FSR.

Maybe it's the language barrier, but whatever it is you are talking
about, I certainly can't make out.

You've been ranting about FSR for years without being able to clearly
say what's wrong with it.  Please quote unicode specifications that you
feel Python does not implement.  What unicode characters cannot be
represented?  Does Python choke on certain unicode strings or expose
entities it should not (like Javascript does)?

Why would you think that the unicode consortium's list of byte encodings
are the only possible valid ways of encoding unicode to a byte stream?

If you're going to continue to write this sort of stuff, please have the
decency to answer these questions at least.

Indeed.
