Detection for small strings in general is pretty flakey, as the algorithm is intended to work on larger samples. That said, I'm surprised to see the output is so different between major Python versions. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

Hey @mitya57 thanks for reporting this. I just want you to realize that both @dan-blanchard and I are the maintainers and we both have a lot of other responsibilities and very little time to devote to chardet. If you wait for us to attempt to fix this, it will probably be a big wait time. If you have time to spare and care to investigate this, you would be really accelerating how quickly this is fixed.
Cheers

Hmm, looks like Python 2.7 has some problems with interpreting unicode given inside -c
argument. Replacing é
with its \xe9
equivalent gives me a behaviour that is consistent between Python 2 and Python 3, but still inconsistent between one-char and two-chars strings.
$ python2.7 -c "import chardet; print(chardet.detect(u'\xe9'.encode('utf-8')))"
{'confidence': 0.73, 'encoding': 'windows-1252'}
$ python3.4 -c "import chardet; print(chardet.detect(u'\xe9'.encode('utf-8')))"
{'confidence': 0.73, 'encoding': 'windows-1252'}
$ python2.7 -c "import chardet; print(chardet.detect(u'\xe9\xe9'.encode('utf-8')))"
{'confidence': 0.7525, 'encoding': 'utf-8'}
$ python3.4 -c "import chardet; print(chardet.detect(u'\xe9\xe9'.encode('utf-8')))"
{'confidence': 0.7525, 'encoding': 'utf-8'}

@mitya57 That makes a lot more sense. I didn't think about the fact that you were calling it from the command-line with -c
before.
Anyway, the difference in results between one and two character strings is to be expected. The more data you give it, the more accurate it will be, so it is wrong for one-character and correct for two characters.

OK, that's understandable.
Actually I filed this issue because currently beautifylsoup4's tests fail with an error, I will now file a pull request against beautifulsoup4 to use double \xe9
in their tests instead of a single.
