Jehan 26024e5c82 script: work around a KeyError exception in Python Wikipedia lib.
Even the test `if hasattr(page, 'links')` would trigger this exception.
So I try the approach "Easier to Ask Forgiveness than Permission".
Weird stuff but well…
Note: I had this exception when running it on the Maltese data.

uchardet

uchardet is an encoding detector library, which takes a sequence of bytes in an unknown character encoding without any additional information, and attempts to determine the encoding of the text. Returned encoding names are iconv-compatible.

uchardet started as a C language binding of the original C++ implementation of the universal charset detection library by Mozilla. It can now detect more charsets, and more reliably than the original implementation.

The original code of universalchardet is available at http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/universalchardet/

Techniques used by universalchardet are described at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/UniversalCharsetDetection.html
