As Victor notes, this is a controversial issue. And I'll add that the need for
this feature seems not to have been brought up up in over a decade. So I'm
closing this.

STINNER Victor added the comment:
This feature request seems to be controversial: there is no clear consensus on
which encoding should be used. I suggest to simply close the issue.
In the meanwhile, since this issue is far from being "newcomer friendly", I
remove the "Easy" label.

FYI, the exact algorithm for determining the encoding of HTML documents is

There are lots of different algorithms documented all over the

If you add the encoding parameter, you should also add at least errors and
newline parameters. And why not just use io.TextIOWrapper?
page.decode_content() bad that compels to read and to decode at once all of the
data, while

I’m not sure real HTML (i.e. sent as text/html) should have an XML prolog
honored. For XML, there’s http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3023

There is no generic and simple way to detect the encoding of a

page.decode_content() might be a better name, and would avoid confusion with
the bytes.decode() method.

- page.encoding is a good idea.
- page.decode_content sounds definitely better than page.decode which can be
confusing as page is not a bytes object, but a file-like object.
I am thinking if an attribute to urlopen would be better? Not
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:
I think the patch should be updated to benefit from new facilities in the io
module instead of monkey-patching methods. The doc and tests are still good.

New submission from Daniel Diniz aja...@gmail.com:
This patch adds a version of urlopen that uses available encoding
information to return strings instead of bytes.
The main goal is to provide a shortcut for users that don't want to
handle the decoding in the easy cases[1]. One added benefit it
