30 /* Codec registry lookup API.
32 Looks up the given encoding and returns a CodecInfo object with
33 function attributes which implement the different aspects of
34 processing the encoding.
36 The encoding string is looked up converted to all lower-case
37 characters. This makes encodings looked up through this mechanism
38 effectively case-insensitive.
40 If no codec is found, a KeyError is set and NULL returned.
42 As side effect, this tries to load the encodings package, if not
43 yet done. This is part of the lazy load strategy for the encodings
44 package.
