Alan Orth	cfe09f7126	Add SPDX short license identifier to all Python files ... See: https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/appendix-V-using-SPDX-short-identifiers-in-source-files/	2021-03-19 16:04:40 +02:00
Alan Orth	898bb412c3	Add checks and unsafe fixes for mojibake ... This detects whether text has likely been encoded in one encoding and decoded in another, perhaps multiple times. This often results in display of "mojibake" characters. For example, a file encoded in UTF-8 is opened as CP-1252 (Windows Latin codepage) in Microsoft Excel, and saved again as UTF-8. You will see strings like this in the resulting file: - CIAT Publicaçao - CIAT Publicación The correct version of these in UTF-8 would be: - CIAT Publicaçao - CIAT Publicación I use a code snippet from Martijn Pieters on StackOverflow to de- tect whether a string is "weird" as determined by the excellent "fixes text for you" (ftfy) Python library, then check if a weird string encodes as CP-1252 or not. If so, I can try to fix it. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29071995/identify-garbage-unicode-string-using-python	2021-03-19 10:22:21 +02:00
Alan Orth	365ecda324	Add utility function to check normalization ... Python's built-in unicodedata library includes the is_normalized() function starting with Python 3.8. This utility function allows us to do the same thing with earlier Python versions. See: https://docs.python.org/3/library/unicodedata.html	2020-01-15 12:17:52 +02:00
