[New-bugs-announce] [issue7035] codecs error handlers lack documentation

[Ole Laursen]

New submission from Ole Laursen <olau at iola.dk>:

import codecs
help(codecs.replace_errors)

results in 

replace_errors(...)
(END)

in Python 2.6. Interestingly, http://docs.python.org/library/codecs
actually says "Implements the replace error handling." Which is pretty
useless, though. :) Suggest at least copying the parenthesized notes in
the next-to-last paragraph under codecs.register to the docstrings.

I was looking for docs in the hope of finding something fancy ala
converting æ to ae, alas no cigar.
