To refute this claim, I reported that locale.getpreferredencoding reports 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'. I was following your instructions exactly (on Debian 4.0), and still, it opens successfully (when loaded through File/Open). Should I do something else with it to trigger the error, other than opening it? When opening iso.py, I get a pop window titled "Decoding error", with a message "Failed to Decode". This seems to be correct also. So I still can't reproduce the problem. I don't understand why you say that IDLE uses open(filename, 'r'). In IOBinding.IOBinding.loadfile, I see # open the file in binary mode so that we can handle # end-of-line convention ourselves. f = open(filename,'rb') _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4008> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
