miniencoding.tables

Encode to a charset with:

def toCharset(charset, string, toUpper=False):
	"""Convert unicode text to various charsets using a lookup table

	Args:
		charset (string): lookup table
		string (string): unicode string to convert
		toUpper (bool, optional): Make chars uppercase before converting
		(intended for 6 bit charsets or charsets that do not support uppercase).
		Defaults to False.

	Returns:
		bytes: sequence of bytes (split into bits of length
	"""

Decode from a charset to Unicode with:

def toUnicode(charset, bytestream):
	"""Convert text encoded with various charsets to unicode using a charset
	lookup table

	Args:
		charset (string): lookup table
		bytestream (bytes): sequence of bytes (split into bits of length
		log2(len(charset))) to convert

	Returns:
		string: unicode string
	"""
