Fist, ISO 693 states the language code for the Hebrew is 'iw' not 'he'. 
  Are you sure the above code is right?

Second, Python 2.4 have codec for 'iso-8859-8' but not for 
'iso-8859-8-1'.  We put aliases for '-i' and '-e' in misc/paths.py.in 
lately but not '-1'.  Is it common in Islael to use this notation?  I 
couldn't find 'ISO-8859-8-1' in the IANA charsets:

You may have to chose a proper charset name and register in the aliases.
