Abstract base class for input wrappers.

Method __init__ Undocumented
Method __repr__ Undocumented
Method decode Decode a string, data, heuristically. Raise UnicodeError if unsuccessful.
Method determine_encoding_from_data Try to determine the encoding of data by looking in data. Check for a byte order mark (BOM) or an encoding declaration.
Method read Undocumented
Class Variable byte_order_marks Sequence of (start_bytes, encoding) tuples for encoding detection. The first bytes of input data are checked against the start_bytes strings. A match indicates the given encoding.
Class Variable coding_slug Encoding declaration pattern.
Class Variable component_type Undocumented
Class Variable default_source_path Undocumented
Instance Variable encoding Text encoding for the input source.
Instance Variable error_handler Text decoding error handler.
Instance Variable source The source of input data.
Instance Variable source_path A text reference to the source.
Instance Variable successful_encoding The encoding that successfully decoded the source data.

Inherited from TransformSpec:

Method get_transforms Transforms required by this class. Override in subclasses.
Class Variable default_transforms Undocumented
Class Variable unknown_reference_resolvers List of functions to try to resolve unknown references. Unknown references have a 'refname' attribute which doesn't correspond to any target in the document. Called when the transforms in docutils.tranforms.references...

def __repr__(self): (source)

Undocumented

def decode(self, data): (source)

Decode a string, data, heuristically. Raise UnicodeError if unsuccessful.

The client application should call locale.setlocale at the beginning of processing:

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
def determine_encoding_from_data(self, data): (source)

Try to determine the encoding of data by looking in data. Check for a byte order mark (BOM) or an encoding declaration.

byte_order_marks = (source)

Sequence of (start_bytes, encoding) tuples for encoding detection. The first bytes of input data are checked against the start_bytes strings. A match indicates the given encoding.

coding_slug = (source)

Encoding declaration pattern.

component_type: str = (source)

Undocumented

encoding = (source)

Text encoding for the input source.

error_handler = (source)

Text decoding error handler.

overridden in docutils.io.FileInput

The source of input data.

source_path = (source)
overridden in docutils.io.FileInput

A text reference to the source.

successful_encoding = (source)

The encoding that successfully decoded the source data.
