* dbflibmodule.c, pyshapelib_common.h, setup.py: attempt to add support for |
| 4 |
|
Unicode and Language Driver ID (LDID) support in dbflib. Before the strings |
| 5 |
|
are send to the underlying shapelib, they are encoded using the code page |
| 6 |
|
specified by the database's LDID if present. To know this LDID requires |
| 7 |
|
some unofficial modifications to maptools' shapelib. Backwards |
| 8 |
|
compatibility is ensured by detecting if this field is present and setting |
| 9 |
|
HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER accordingly in setup.py. In absence of the LDID, |
| 10 |
|
dbflib assumes a Windows ANSI codepage (cp1252). |
| 11 |
|
New or modified functions/attributes of the DBFFile class: |
| 12 |
|
- read_record(...), DBFFile.read_attribute(...): modified, now return |
| 13 |
|
Unicode strings. |
| 14 |
|
- write_record(...) and write_field(...): modified, now accept both regular |
| 15 |
|
and Unicode strings but both are encoded. |
| 16 |
|
- language_driver (read-only): new, the numerical value of the LDID |
| 17 |
|
(exists only if HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER == 1) |
| 18 |
|
New or modified functions/constants of the dbflib module: |
| 19 |
|
- language_driver_codec(...): added, translates a numerical LDID into the |
| 20 |
|
string name of the Python codec used to encode/decode the strings. |
| 21 |
|
(exists only if HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER == 1) |
| 22 |
|
- language_driver_name(...): added, translates a numerical LDID into a string |
| 23 |
|
representing the corresponding constant. |
| 24 |
|
(exists only if HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER == 1) |
| 25 |
|
- LDID_NOT_SET, LDID_DOS_USA, ...: constants representing language drivers. |
| 26 |
|
(existsonly if HAVE_LANGUAGE_DRIVER == 1) |
