Hello folks,
I've just orphaned python-chardet. I maintained it as a dependency of
requests, but requests use python-charset-normalizer instead now.
I’ve picked it up, as a few packages I maintain or care about do depend
on it.
I recommend any dependency to migrate as well.
It appears that requests switched purely because the Apache Software
Foundation doesn’t allow LGPL dependencies[1]. Is there another
rationale that the various Python upstreams that use chardet would find
convincing? Both projects appear to be actively maintained. I know that
charset-normalizer is supposed to be much faster than chardet, but I
haven’t seen any benchmarks.
