[Pyobjc-dev] non-default encoding raising an exception over the bridge

[Bob I. <bo...@re...>]

I think that most of the time, people would be happier if this didn't 
raise an exception (use the unicode replace instead).  If the python 
user doesn't know the encoding of the text, and it's not default 
encoding, the developer probably doesn't have anything better than 
replace to use on the string.  The exception is a nuisance and can be 
hard to track down.

Perhaps this could be a module level variable in objc, so that a person 
could toggle it to be strict if they wanted it that way, but have the 
default as replace?
