<p>The easiest way to use the <span class="application">Universal Encoding Detector</span> library is with the <tt class="function">detect</tt> function.</p>
|
||
<div class="example">
|
||
<a name="example.basic.detect" class="skip" href="#example.basic.detect" title="link to this example"><img src="images/permalink.gif" alt="[link]" title="link to this example" width="8" height="9"></a> <h3 class="title">Example: Using the <tt class="function">detect</tt> function</h3>
|
||
<p>The <tt class="function">detect</tt> function takes one argument, a non-Unicode string. It returns a dictionary containing the auto-detected character encoding and a confidence level from <tt class="constant">0</tt> to <tt class="constant">1</tt>.</p>
|
||
<pre class="screen"><tt class="prompt">>>> </tt><span class="userinput"><font color='navy'><b>import</b></font> urllib</span>
|
||
<tt class="prompt">>>> </tt><span class="userinput">rawdata = urllib.urlopen(<font color='olive'>'http://yahoo.co.jp/'</font>).read()</span>
|
||
<tt class="prompt">>>> </tt><span class="userinput"><font color='navy'><b>import</b></font> chardet</span>
|
||
<tt class="prompt">>>> </tt><span class="userinput">chardet.detect(rawdata)</span>
|
||
<span class="computeroutput">{'encoding': 'EUC-JP', 'confidence': 0.99}</span></pre>
|
||
</div>
|

<div class="section" lang="en">

<a name="usage.advanced" class="skip" href="#usage.advanced" title="link to this section"><img src="images/permalink.gif" alt="[link]" title="link to this section" width="8" height="9"></a> Advanced usage</h3></div></div>
|

<div></div>
|

</div>
|
||
<p>If you're dealing with a large amount of text, you can call the <span class="application">Universal Encoding Detector</span> library incrementally, and it will stop as soon as it is confident enough to report its results.</p>
|
||
<p>Create a <tt class="classname">UniversalDetector</tt> object, then call its <tt class="methodname">feed</tt> method repeatedly with each block of text. If the detector reaches a minimum threshold of confidence, it will set <tt class="varname">detector.done</tt> to <tt class="constant">True</tt>.</p>
|
||
<p>Once you've exhausted the source text, call <tt class="methodname">detector.close()</tt>, which will do some final calculations in case the detector didn't hit its minimum confidence threshold earlier. Then <tt class="varname">detector.result</tt> will be a dictionary containing the auto-detected character encoding and confidence level (the same as <a href="usage.html#example.basic.detect" title="Example: Using the detect function">the <tt class="function">chardet.detect</tt> function returns</a>).</p>

</div>
|
||
<p>If you want to detect the encoding of multiple texts (such as separate files), you can re-use a single <tt class="classname">UniversalDetector</tt> object. Just call <tt class="methodname">detector.reset()</tt> at the start of each file, call <tt class="methodname">detector.feed</tt> as many times as you like, and then call <tt class="methodname">detector.close()</tt> and check the <tt class="varname">detector.result</tt> dictionary for the file's results.</p>
