from core.util import
Utility for working with unicode text.
The text.Text class is all about conversions between unicode text and various other formats.
Text objects always store their text internally as unicode, but provide a lot of properties for easy conversion to other formats.
from core.util import text
t = text.Text('Hi!')
print t.encoding
t.text
t.ascii
t.bytes
t.url
__init__(self, t=None, **kwargs)
Pass a text string (str or unicode). Accepts keyword arg 'enc' for encoding conversions. The default encoding is utf-8. If you pass text with a different encoding, you must specify the encoding.
from core.util import text t = text.Text(someLatin1Text, enc='latin_1') t.utf8

An iterator for characters in a Text object - Implements unicodedata properties for whatever the current character is.
ord
