I don't know what "status" you are retrieving, but I know that both away
messages and profiles carry an encoding along side. I suspect that you
are talking about grabbing a profile because the current revision of
pyaim-t ditches this value with the comment:
#encoding = tlvs[1] We're ignoring this for now
I've submitted a patch about this already. Haven't heard back, but my
patch was rather large.. FWIW, there is a "guess_encoding" in the oscar
module, but I have to admit that it is different than my version of the
same idea.
