As suggested by others, if this is a text file, request the encoding
from the person who created it. chardet can't really autodetect all
encodings, and neither can guessing encodings in a more manual way -
though if there's no one to ask, sometimes chardet is better than not
reading the file :)
Or, if the file is not text, if you want to treat it as a binary blob:
$ pythons --command 'file_ = open("/usr/local/pypy3-6.0.0/bin/pypy3",
"rb"); data = file_.read(); print(type(data)); file_.close()'
