For Python 3.x, I think those can be removed. For 2.x it's better to
keep them.
Note that UTF-8 was the first official Unicode transfer encoding,
that's why it's sometimes referred to as "UTF".
The situation is similar for Latin-1. It was the first of a series of
encodings defined by ECMA which was later published by ISO under the name
ISO-8859 - long after the name "Latin-1" became popular which is why
it's the default name in Python. |
