How to Install

Install from PyPI:

$ sudo pip install nkf

Install from source tree:

$ make
$ sudo make install

Usage

## flag is same as the flags of nkf itself
import nkf
output = nkf.nkf(flag, input)

## For example, to convert from euc-jp to utf-8
output = nkf.nkf('-Ew', 'some euc-jp string')

## Guess character encoding
input_encoding = nkf.guess('some string')

guess() function guesses an input string encoding and returns one of next strings:

• BINARY
• ASCII
• Shift_JIS
• CP932
• EUC-JP
• EUCJP-MS
• CP51932
• ISO-2022-JP
• CP50221
• CP50220
• UTF-8
• UTF-16
• UTF-32

python-nkf's Issues

Python 3 support

Like the title says - will nkf be updated with python 3 support? 🙂

Visual C++ 14.0 is required

Even though I have installed VCpp 14.0 (2015), it's still occur this error. I have tried 2017 as well.
