mazovia is an old encoding for Polish language, it's modified cp437 (more info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazovia_encoding and (in Polish, but tables are useful anyway) http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazovia_(kod) )

Is this still in common use ?

The wikipedia pages suggest that it was used in the MS-DOS days,
but those are long over.

Please note that we don't want to add every single existing code
page to Python, just because we can. If their use is marginal,
it's better to maintain them externally.

it's still used by some business in Poland, who have DOS based systems, but I don't think any new deployments are using it

Then I think it's better maintained outside the stdlib.
