Note
Our ISO-8859-2 and windows-1250 (Hungarian) probers have been temporarily disabled until we can retrain the models.
Requires Python 2.7 or 3.5+.
Documentation
For users, docs are now available at https://chardet.readthedocs.io/.
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 Cordasco’s charade fork, so now we have one coherent version that works for Python 2.7+ and 3.4+.
