Metadata-Version: 1.1 Name: webencodings Version: 0.5.1 Summary: Character encoding aliases for legacy web content Home-page: https://github.com/SimonSapin/python-webencodings Author: Geoffrey Sneddon Author-email: me@gsnedders.com License: BSD Description-Content-Type: UNKNOWN Description: python-webencodings =================== This is a Python implementation of the `WHATWG Encoding standard <http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/>`_. * Latest documentation: http://packages.python.org/webencodings/ * Source code and issue tracker: https://github.com/gsnedders/python-webencodings * PyPI releases: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/webencodings * License: BSD * Python 2.6+ and 3.3+ In order to be compatible with legacy web content when interpreting something like ``Content-Type: text/html; charset=latin1``, tools need to use a particular set of aliases for encoding labels as well as some overriding rules. For example, ``US-ASCII`` and ``iso-8859-1`` on the web are actually aliases for ``windows-1252``, and an UTF-8 or UTF-16 BOM takes precedence over any other encoding declaration. The Encoding standard defines all such details so that implementations do not have to reverse-engineer each other. This module has encoding labels and BOM detection, but the actual implementation for encoders and decoders is Python’s.
