Walter Dörwald <wal...@livinglogic.de> added the comment: IMHO this is the wrong approach.
As Martin v. Löwis suggested here http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-January/094841.html the best solution would be a new codec (which he named sniff), that autodetects the encoding on reading. This doesn't require *any* changes to the IO library. It could even be developed as a standalone project and published in the Cheeseshop. ---------- nosy: +doerwalter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7651> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
