Encoding ignored #519

@mcp292

Description

@mcp292

Describe the bug
The encoding argument seems to be ignored.

To Reproduce

  1. Save this image as file.png:
    file

  2. Run:

import textract


print(textract.process("file.png"), "\n")
print(textract.process("file.png", encoding="ascii"), "\n")
print(textract.process("file.png", encoding="nonexistent encoding"), "\n")

Expected behavior
I would expect the output of the above to differ. I would expect ascii to not be output as a byte string. I would expect nonexistent encoding to error or warn and ignore.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Fedora 40
  • Textract version: 1.6.5
  • Python version: 3.12.4
  • Virtual environment: no

Additional context
Haven't tested commandline.
