Python binding for the chardetng character encoding detector.

Documentation

Documentation for the latest release can be found on Read the Docs.

Platform and Architecture Support

Compatability is a feature of chardetng_py. The goal is to support as many platforms and architectures as possible.

chardetng_py supports Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 on Linux, macOS 10.7, macOS 11.0, and Windows. Additionally, PyPy versions 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 are supported on Linux.

The x86, x86_64, s390x, ARMv7l, and AArch64 architectures are supported on Linux for both cPython and PyPy. The AArch64 and x86_64 architectures are supported on macOS. The x86_64 architecture is supported on Windows.

In short, if you can install Python 3.8, you should be able to install chardetng_py.

If there is a platform or architecture that you would like to see supported, please file an issue.

This support is largely due to the wonderful maturin project.

Installation

You can install chardetng_py via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install chardetng-py

Or via uv:

$ uv add chardetng-py

Quick Start

The easiest way to get started is to use the :meth:detect method.

>>> from chardetng_py import detect
>>> detect(b'Jakby r\xeaka Boga')
'windows-1254'

There is also a detect method available for compatability with chardet, but it will always report None for the language. The confidence value will either be 0.99 or 0.01 depending on whether chardetng returns a "high" or "low" confidence boolean.

>>> from chardetng_py.compat import detect
>>> detect(b'Jakby r\xeaka Boga')
{'encoding': 'windows-1254', 'confidence': 0.99, 'language': None}
