About
-----

This is a continuation of Mark Pilgrim's excellent chardet. Previously, two
versions needed to be maintained: one that supported python 2.x and one that
supported python 3.x.  We've recently merged with `Ian Corduscano <https://github.com/sigmavirus24>`_'s
`charade <https://github.com/sigmavirus24/charade>`_ fork, so now we have one
coherent version that works for Python 2.6+.
