python文件打开方式二进制或文本_如何使用Python识别的二进制和文本文件？

I need identify which file is binary and which is a text in a directory.

I tried use mimetypes but it isnt a good idea in my case because it cant identify all files mimes, and I have strangers ones here... I just need know, binary or text. Simple ? But I couldn´t find a solution...

Thanks

Thanks everybody, I found a solution that suited my problem. I found this code at http://code.activestate.com/recipes/173220/ and I changed just a little piece to suit me.

It works fine.

from __future__ import division

import string

def istext(filename):

s=open(filename).read(512)

text_characters = "".join(map(chr, range(32, 127)) + list("\n\r\t\b"))

_null_trans = string.maketrans("", "")

if not s:

# Empty files are considered text

return True

if "\0" in s:

# Files with null bytes are likely binary

return False

# Get the non-text characters (maps a character to itself then

# use the 'remove' option to get rid of the text characters.)

t = s.translate(_null_trans, text_characters)

# If more than 30% non-text characters, then

# this is considered a binary file

if float(len(t))/float(len(s)) > 0.30:

return False

return True
