[issue18814] Add codecs.convert_surrogateescape to "clean" surrogate escaped strings

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

The function definition again, this time with a draft docstring:

    def convert_surrogateescape(data, errors='replace'):
        """Convert escaped raw bytes by applying a different error handler

        Uses the "replace" error handler by default, but any input
        error handler may be specified.
        """
        return data.encode('utf-8', 'surrogateescape').decode('utf-8', errors)
