Requires Python 2.6, 2.7, or 3.3+.
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 2.6+.
