[New-bugs-announce] [issue35551] Encoding and alias issues

[BLKSerene]

New submission from BLKSerene <blkserene at gmail.com>:

There're some minor issues about encodings supported by Python.
1. "tis260" is the alias for "tactis", where "tis260" might be a typo, which should be tis620. And "tactis" is not a supported encoding by Python (and I can't find any information about this encoding on Google).
2. "mac_latin2" and "mac_centeuro" refer to the same encoding (the decoding tables are identical), but they are provided as two encodings in different names ("maccentraleurope" is an alias for "mac_latin2", but "mac_centeuro" isn't).
3. The same problem for "latin_1" and "iso8859_1" ("iso_8859_1" is an alias for "latin_1", but "iso8859_1" isn't).
