It's marked internal only. The initial bug report is: Description of problem: Japanese codecs by Tamito Kajiyama is very useful and popular. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to use Japanese with python2.2 in RHL 2.It lacks Japanese Codecs.. 3. Comment #1 from Trond is: Added to python-2.2.1-9 Looking back, what we should have done was to build python-japanese as a separate package, but this is history now. Maybe with python 2.5 we should split it. Misa -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
