Debug

Known issues

gotchaInput must be bytes, not str. Passing str will raise TypeError.

fix

Ensure input is bytes (e.g., my_str.encode('utf-8')) or bytes object.

affects: all

deprecatedThe function guess_encoding is deprecated in favor of detect_encoding which provides more accurate detection.

fix

Replace guess_encoding() with detect_encoding() for new code.
