Here's the module's descrption:
DESCRIPTION = """\
This package provides Unicode codecs that make Python aware
of Japanese character encodings such as EUC-JP, Shift_JIS and
ISO-2022-JP. By using this package, Japanese characters can be
treated as a character string instead of a byte sequence."""
I haven't had much experience with it myself, it's been in the python package
before I took over. Here's when and why they got in:

This works for me:
pydoc25 smtpd

Thank you, i appreciate the description and link - i will check it out -
just seemed a little strange that we would be defaulty supplying a japanese
codec, when we dont for other charsets. As for the smtpd i was about to do
JUST that.
Thanks again
