Standard "encodings" Package
 
    Standard Python encoding modules are stored in this package
    directory.
 
    Codec modules must have names corresponding to normalized encoding
    names as defined in the normalize_encoding() function below, e.g.
    'utf-8' must be implemented by the module 'utf_8.py'.
 
    Each codec module must export the following interface:
 
    * getregentry() -> codecs.CodecInfo object
    The getregentry() API must a CodecInfo object with encoder, decoder,
    incrementalencoder, incrementaldecoder, streamwriter and streamreader
    atttributes which adhere to the Python Codec Interface Standard.
 
    In addition, a module may optionally also define the following
    APIs which are then used by the package's codec search function:
 
    * getaliases() -> sequence of encoding name strings to use as aliases
 
    Alias names returned by getaliases() must be normalized encoding
    names as defined by normalize_encoding().

Functions
		normalize_encoding(encoding) Normalize an encoding name.   Normalization works as follows: all non-alphanumeric characters except the dot used for Python package names are collapsed and replaced with a single underscore, e.g. '  -;#' becomes '_'. Leading and trailing underscores are removed.   Note that encoding names should be ASCII only; if they do use non-ASCII characters, these must be Latin-1 compatible. search_function(encoding)
