An easier way would be to use the codecs module to open the file for
reading or writing in a particular encoding (the system default
encoding is assumed when using open() or file(), which is apparently
different from iso-8859-1 in the case above). I have to deal with
encoded files quite frequently, so I have a class that allows me to
pass an optional encoding value when getting file objects. The
getFile() classmethod that returns a file object looks something like
this (don't forget to import codecs):
def getFile(self, filename, mode='r', enc=None):
"""Return a file object"""
f = None
if enc:
try:
f = codecs.open(filename, mode, enc)
except:
raise
else:
try:
f = file(filename, mode)
except:
raise
return f
getFile = classmethod(getFile)
You can also change the encoding used on an open file object. Here's
that method:
def setFileEncoding(self, fileobj, enc):
"""Set a file obj's encoding"""
fileobj = codecs.lookup(enc)[-1](fileobj)
setFileEncoding = classmethod(setFileEncoding)
