[New-bugs-announce] [issue12263] punycode codec ignores the error handler argument

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

b'abc\xff'.decode('punycode', 'ignore') raises the same error than b'abc\xff'.decode('punycode', 'replace') or b'abc\xff'.decode('punycode'): it uses the strict error handler, and simply ignores the error handler.

punycodec, as idna, should raise an exception if the error handler is different than strict.
