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. . This package provides the module for Python 2.
