Very interesting work. In the test directory, you ship a big5_tw.pyc,
which happens not to be accepted by Python 2 (I assume it is a 1.6
bytecode file).
I'd recommend to change the test to properly use the installed
software, i.e.
twstring = "這是一個測試, 英文是\"This is a test.\"\n" + \
"先把BIG5碼轉換成Unicode, 再把Unicode轉\n" + \
"回BIG5碼. 效果還不錯, 但效能差一點."
uni = unicode(twstring, "big5_tw")
bstring = uni.encode("big5_tw")
print "Original BIG5 encoded string:"
print twstring
print "Transcode to Unicode encoding:"
print repr(uni)
print "Back to BIG5 encoding:"
print bstring
then you won't need big5_tw in the current directory anymore.
If you want the test to use the codec object, codec.lookup is probably
better.
