I'd like to have a fast way to validate large amounts of string data as
being UTF-8.
I don't see a fast way to do it in Python, though:
unicode(s,'utf-8').encode('utf-8)
seems to notice at least some of the time (the unicode() part works but
the encode() part bombs). I don't consider a RE based solution to be
fast. GLib provides a routine to do this, and I am using GTK so it's
included in there somewhere, but I don't see a way to call GLib
routines. I don't want to write another extension module.
Is there a (fast) Python function to validate UTF-8 data?
Is there some other fast way to validate UTF-8 data?
Is there a general way to call GLib functions?
