lethliel	a802df15ad	return the obj if None type is passed to decode_it ... If a obj of type None is passed to decode_it just return it and do not try to decode it as this will fail	2019-07-26 14:22:26 +02:00
lethliel	5841bf759f	add exception if encoding fails and try ISO-8859-1 ... In some rare cases the chardet encoding detection detects a wrong encoding standard. Then we switch to latin-1 which covers most if utf-8 does not work.	2019-04-16 14:40:13 +02:00
lethliel	4b29e1c543	add helper functions for python3 support ... This functions are used in the whole code and are mandatory for the python3 support to work. In python2 case nothing is touched. * cmp_to_key: converts a cmp= into a key= function * decode_list: decodes each element of a list. This is needed if we have a mixed list with strings and bytes. * decode_it: Takes the input and checks if it is not a string. Then it uses chardet to get the encoding.	2018-11-08 09:55:07 +01:00
