But is there an API to do it? As MAL points out that API would have to return not an encoding, but a pair of an encoding and the rewound stream. For non-seekable, non-peekable streams (if any), what you'd need would be a stream that consisted of a concatenation of the buffered data used for detection and the continuation of the stream. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
