Command-line Tool
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
chardet comes with a command-line script which reports on the encodings of one
|
|
or more files::
|
|
|
|
% chardetect somefile someotherfile
|
|
somefile: windows-1252 with confidence 0.5
|
|
someotherfile: ascii with confidence 1.0

About
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
This is a continuation of Mark Pilgrim's excellent chardet. Previously, two
|
|
versions needed to be maintained: one that supported python 2.x and one that
|
|
supported python 3.x. We've recently merged with `Ian Corduscano <https://github.com/sigmavirus24>`_'s
|
|
`charade <https://github.com/sigmavirus24/charade>`_ fork, so now we have one
|
|
coherent version that works for Python 2.6+.
