But an autodetect feature is not a codec. Sure it should be reusable, but making it a codec seems to be a weird hack to me. And how would you reuse it if it was a codec? A reusable autodetect feature would be useable to detect what codec it is. A autodetect codec would not be useful for that, as it would simply just decode. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ 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
