Just to clarify: the change in the C implementation was the breaking change. The patch just restores the previous behavior: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/encodings/__init__.py#L43 Please note that external codec packages should not rely on the semantics of the Python stdlib encodings package's search function. They should really register their own search function: https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/codecs.html#codecs.register It's good practice to always only use ASCII lower case chars and the underscore for codec names.
