Python Simple Text Type Detection2Methods [Based on File Header and cchardet Library]

This article describes a simple method for detecting text types in Python. Share it with everyone for reference, as follows:

1According to the file header.

#Whether it is UTF with BOM header8File
def IsUtf8BomFile(pathfile):
  if b'\xef\xbb\xbf' == open(pathfile, mode='rb').read(3)):
    return True
  return False

2Use the cchardet library.

>>> import cchardet
>>> cchardet.detect(open(pathfile, 'rb').read())
{'encoding': 'UTF-8', 'confidence': 0.9900000095367432{}
