Summary: cp720 encoding map

Initial Comment:
I'm working on Bazaar (bzr) VCS. One of our user report about bug that occurs because of his Windows XP machine use cp720 codepage for DOS console. cp720 is OEM Arabic codepage.

Python standard library does not have encoding map for this encoding so I create corresponding one. Attached patch provide cp720.py file for encodings package and mention this encoding in documentation.

Please provide a reference defining the encoding.

The only reference I could find was
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding(vs.80).aspx
but that doesn't provide the mapping table.

Thanks.

Where did you get CP720.txt from? Just generating the file is not good
enough: it must be integrated somehow into Tools/unicode.
