Looks up the given encoding and returns a CodecInfo object with function attributes which implement the different aspects of processing the encoding.
The encoding string is looked up converted to all lower-case characters. This makes encodings looked up through this mechanism effectively case-insensitive.
If no codec is found, a KeyError is set and NULL returned.
As side effect, this tries to load the encodings package, if not yet done. This is part of the lazy load strategy for the encodings package.
object is passed through the encoder function found for the given encoding using the error handling method defined by errors. errors may be NULL to use the default method defined for the codec.
Raises a LookupError in case no encoder can be found.
object is passed through the decoder function found for the given encoding using the error handling method defined by errors. errors may be NULL to use the default method defined for the codec.
Raises a LookupError in case no encoder can be found.
/* These two aren't actually text encoding specific, but _io.TextIOWrapper * is the only current API consumer. */ PyAPI_FUNC(PyObject *) _PyCodecInfo_GetIncrementalDecoder( PyObject *codec_info, const char *errors );
All APIs return a codec object with incremented refcount and are based on _PyCodec_Lookup(). The same comments w/r to the encoding name also apply to these APIs.
