Today I used chardet.detect in the repl and it returned windows-1252
(incorrect, because it later resulted in a UnicodeDecodeError). When I ran
chardet as a script (which uses UniversalLineDetector) this returned
MacRoman. Isn't charset.detect the correct way? I've used this method many
times.
# Interpreter
>>> contents = open(FILENAME, "rb").read()
>>> chardet.detect(content)
Is that copy and pasted from the terminal, or retyped with possible
transcription errors? As written, you've assigned the open file handle
to `contents`, but passed `content` (with no "s") to `chardet.detect` -
so the result would depend on whatever was previously assigned to `content`.

Thanks!
