def guess(s):
    r'''
    Attempts to heuristically guess a strings encoding, returning
    a Unicode string.

    This method should only be used for importing legacy data from systems
    or files where the encoding is not known. This method will always
    succeed and normally guess the correct encoding, but it is only
    a guess and will be incorrect some of the time. Also note that
    data may be lost, as if we cannot determine the correct encoding
    we fall back to ISO-8859-1 and replace unrecognized characters with
    \ufffd characters (the Unicode unrepresentable code point).

    NB: We currently only cope with the major Western character
    sets - we need to change the algorithm to cope with asian languages.
    One way that apparently works is to convert the string into all possible
    encodings, one at a time, and if successful score them based on the
    number of meaningful characters (using the unicodedata module to
    let us know what are control characters, letters, printable characters
    etc.).


    ASCII is easy

    >>> guess('hello')
    u'hello'

    Unicode raises an exception to annoy lazy programmers. It should also
    catches bugs as if you have valid Unicode you shouldn't be going anywhere
    near this method.

    >>> guess(u'Caution \N{BIOHAZARD SIGN}')
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    TypeError: ...

    UTF-8 is our best guess

    >>> guess(u'100% Pure Beef\N{TRADE MARK SIGN}'.encode('UTF-8'))
    u'100% Pure Beef\u2122'

    But we fall back to ISO-8859-1 if UTF-8 fails

    >>> u = u'Ol\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE}'
    >>> u.encode('UTF-8') == u.encode('ISO-8859-1')
    False
    >>> guess(u.encode('UTF-8'))
    u'Ol\xe9'
    >>> guess(u.encode('ISO-8859-1'))
    u'Ol\xe9'

    However, if the string contains ISO-8859-1 control characters, it is
    probably a CP1252 document (Windows).

    >>> u = u'Show me the \N{EURO SIGN}'
    >>> u.encode('UTF-8') == u.encode('CP1252')
    False
    >>> guess(u.encode('UTF-8'))
    u'Show me the \u20ac'
    >>> guess(u.encode('CP1252'))
    u'Show me the \u20ac'

    We also check for characters common in ISO-8859-15 that are uncommon
    in ISO-8859-1, and use ISO-8859-15 if they are found.

    >>> u = u'\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON}'
    >>> guess(u.encode('iso-8859-15'))
    u'\u0161'

    Strings with a BOM are unambiguous.

    >>> guess(u'hello'.encode('UTF-16'))
    u'hello'

    However, UTF-16 strings without a BOM will be interpreted as ISO-8859-1.
    I doubt this is a problem, as we are unlikely to see this except with
    asian languages and in these cases other encodings we don't support
    at the moment like ISO-2022-jp, BIG5, SHIFT-JIS etc. will be a bigger
    problem.

    >>> guess(u'hello'.encode('UTF-16be'))
    u'\x00h\x00e\x00l\x00l\x00o'
