Hi,
Today I had a csv file in utf-8 encoding, but part of the accented characters
were mangled. The data were scraped from a website and it turned out that at
least some of the data were mangled on the website already. Bits of the text
were actually cp1252 (or cp850), I think, even though the webpage was in utf-8
Is there any package that helps to correct such issues? (I tried looking for
one but it doesn't really help that there is such a thing as name mangling! ;-)
This comes pretty close though: https://gist.github.com/litchfield/1282752
1) Would something like this help
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/charset/1.0.1 ?
2) Surely this topic is too advanced for a tutor mailing list?
