Text File Code Conversion Tool

A weekend project made on windows & eclipse

pyconv tries to help you detect the right encoding of a text file, decode it, and convert into the encoding you want. Or you can just indicate encodings yourself.

pyconv use python's built-in functions to encode and decode, and it's tolerant to characters that can't be encoded or decoded, you may see ?? in the result, which probably means an invalid conversion, and a need to try some other encodings.

Install

Download the package and run:

python setup.py install

Or use easy_install:

easy_install pyconv

Then if you want to add the command to right-click menu, run:

python -m pyconv.addmenu

Usage

Just run it to see the help informations.

TODO

• Enhance detect mechanism (exclude ascii before detection)
• right-click menu support for Mac
