Hi, Are there any functions in python to convert between different Japanese coding systems?
I would like to convert between (at least) ISO-2022-JP, UTF-8, EUC-JP and SJIS. I also need some function to encode / decode base64 encoded strings. I get the strings (which actually are emails) from a server on the internet with: import urllib server = urllib.urlopen(serverURL, parameters) email = server.read() The coding systems are given in the response string: Example: email = '''[...] Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?romaji=E3=81=B2=E3=82=89=E3=81=8C=E3=81=AA=E3=82=AB=E3=82=BF?= =?UTF-8?Q?=E3=82=AB=E3=83=8A=E6=BC=A2=E5=AD=97?= [...] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=EUC-JP [...] Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 [...] cm9tYWpppNKk6aSspMqlq6W/paulyrTBu/oNCg0K ''' My idea is to first parse the 'email' string and to extract the email body as well as the values of the 'Subject: ', the 'Content-Type: ' and the 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: ' attributes and to after use them to convert them to some other coding system: Something in the lines of: (subject, contentType, contentTransferEncoding, content) = parseEmail(email) to = 'utf-8' subjectUtf8 = decodeSubject(subject, to) from = contentType to = 'utf-8' contentUtf8 = convertCodingSystem(decodeBase64(content), from, to) The only problem is that I could not find any standard functionality to convert between different Japanese coding systems.
