Yes, you're taking it foo far :-) Checking BOM is reliable, whereas *guessing* the charset only using the byte stream can only be an heuristic. Guess a charset is a complex problem, they are 3rd party library to do that, like the chardet project. -- Victor Stinner http://www.haypocalc.com/ _______________________________________________ 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
