Content
Here is a patch, which adds support for cp65001 and fixes test_cp1252. Please test it on Windows Vista. Lone surrogates are not illegal in UTF-7 (see RFC 1642), so error handler is not called and explicit support of UTF-7 is not needed. Could you please help with documenting this change in What's new Python 3.5 document? I don't think this change is worth special mentioning in codecs documentation, it is already documented that surrogatepass is supported only for utf-8, utf-16* and utf-32*.
