Charset module¶

Complete list of supported encodings¶

The following table lists all the encodings supported by the modeler of LocalSolver with their common aliases and the languages for which the encoding is usually employed.

Constants¶

This module instantiate 2 encodings by default: utf-8 and iso-8859-1. You can use them directly through these built-in variables without using the charset.lookup() method.

charset.ISO_8859_1¶

Latin-1 encoding. This encoding is the most widely used for western europe. This is also the default encoding of LocalSolver.

charset.UTF_8¶

UTF-8 encoding. This encoding should be the default one for your new projects with LocalSolver. The parser of LocalSolver will use it automatically if a Byte-Order-Mark (BOM) is detected at the begining of your files.

Functions¶

charset.default()¶

Returns the default encoding used by LocalSolver. For the current version of LocalSolver, this method returns charset.ISO_8859_1.

charset.lookup(name)¶

Returns the encoding corresponding to the given name. If no encoding exists with the given name, an exception is thrown. You can use the name of the encoding or one of its aliases. The lookup is not case sensitive.
