Python to support further encoding: tags beside 1047 and ISO8859-1

Currently, IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Python seems to only support encoding 1047 and ISO8859-1. If we've coded:

# encoding: cp1141

neither output nor error messages are shown for e.g. printed output. A simple print("Hello World") would be enough to reproduce this.

 

We want to call Python Scripts located in PDS datasets by DSFS. These Python Scripts are written in CCSID 1141. Python should be enhanced to further support these CCSIDs without the need to use iconv before running the Python Scripts.

    Python scripts are expected to be in either ISO8859-1 or IBM-1047. Using other code pages should have resulted in an error message. We will fix it in the upcoming PTF.

    What emulator are you using? Will you be able to convert your scripts to the supported code pages?

    With "#encoding: cp1141" there is no error message, nothing.

    We want to write the Python Scripts in 1141, because our Emulator setting is 1141. The Python scripts are located within PO datasets and we want to call them with the DSFS path from USS directly or in batch. So for this, we opened the RFE (support for cp1141).

    Is this regarding writing Python script in cp1411? It is not supported but should have produced an error message. We will look into it.

    On the other hand, Python can process cp1411 data.

    Please confirm.
