t61codec

library2.0.0pypypi✓ verified 85d ago

t61codec is a Python library that provides a codec for handling ITU T.61 character strings. It allows encoding Python strings into T.61 byte sequences and decoding T.61 byte sequences back into Python strings. The current version is 2.0.0 and it maintains a semantic versioning release cadence, though updates are infrequent.

t61codec

✓ import t61codec t61codec.register()

✗ import codecs codecs.encode('hello', 't.61')

The 't.61' codec is not available by default in the standard 'codecs' module until `t61codec.register()` is explicitly called.

This quickstart demonstrates how to register the t61codec and then use Python's built-in `codecs` module to encode and decode strings using the 't.61' encoding.

import t61codec import codecs t61codec.register() # Encode a Python string to T.61 bytes python_string = "Hello, World!" t61_bytes = codecs.encode(python_string, 't.61') print(f"Encoded: {t61_bytes!r}") # Decode T.61 bytes back to a Python string decoded_string = codecs.decode(t61_bytes, 't.61') print(f"Decoded: {decoded_string}") # Example with characters that might be specific to T.61 (if applicable) # For simplicity, using basic ASCII characters as T.61 is an 8-bit encoding # For specific non-ASCII T.61 characters, consult ITU-T T.61 standard.

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe `t.61` codec must be explicitly registered with Python's `codecs` registry before it can be used. Forgetting to call `t61codec.register()` will result in a `LookupError` when trying to use the 't.61' encoding.

fix

Always call `t61codec.register()` once at the start of your application or before the first use of the 't.61' encoding.

affects: All versions

gotchaITU T.61 is an 8-bit encoding. While it can represent some non-ASCII characters, it has a limited character set compared to modern encodings like UTF-8. Attempting to encode characters not supported by T.61 will raise a `UnicodeEncodeError`.

fix

Ensure that input strings only contain characters representable in T.61 or implement appropriate error handling (e.g., `'replace'`, `'ignore'`) when encoding.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

LookupError: unknown encoding: t.61

The `t61codec` library has not been registered with Python's `codecs` module.

fix

Add `t61codec.register()` at the beginning of your script or before attempting to use the 't.61' encoding.

UnicodeEncodeError: 't.61' codec can't encode character '\u20ac' in position X: character maps to <undefined>

The input string contains a Unicode character (e.g., Euro sign '€') that is not supported by the ITU T.61 encoding.

fix

Filter out or replace unsupported characters before encoding, or specify an error handler like `errors='replace'` or `errors='ignore'` in the `encode` call (e.g., `codecs.encode(my_string, 't.61', errors='replace')`).
