Yup. Ans Martins answer then is my answer now: "> So the code is good, if it is inside an XML parser, and it's bad if it > is inside a codec? Exactly so. This functionality just *isn't* a codec - there is no encoding. Instead, it is an algorithm for *detecting* an encoding." The conclusion was that a method do autodetect encodings would be good. I think the same conclusion applies here. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ 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
