We have a -1 from Martin and a +1 from Walter, Guido and myself. Pretty clear vote if you ask me. I'd say we end the discussion here and move on. If we're counting, you've got a -1 on the codec from me as well. Martin's right: there's no value to embedding the logic of auto- detection into the codec.

It isn't "embedded". codecs.detect_xml_encoding() is callable without any problems (though not documented).

A function somewhere in the xml package is all that's warranted.

Who would use such a function for what?

Servus, Walter
