1. I found that
CodecInfo
class signature contains an undocumented (non-public)_is_text_encoding
argument:cpython/Lib/codecs.py
Lines 94 to 96 in c2ac662
Signature,
inspect.signature(codecs.CodecInfo)
:I don't think this should be documented, but I thought I'd point it out just in case.
2. I'm not a fan of using
/
and I also want to point out that it doesn't seem natural forcodecs
functions to use positional-only arguments, since they are only used in the functions that I updated. I would suggest getting rid of/
in the code instead of documenting it.📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--131992.org.readthedocs.build/
