Well, about how to detect it in Python, I can't help. My first guess, though, would be to have a look at the source code of the "file" utility. This is an example of what it does: # ls de.i18n en.i18n # file * de.i18n: ISO-8859 text, with very long lines en.i18n: ISO-8859 English text, with very long lines cheers -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
