There's no definitive way of telling a file is "non-ascii". Bytes in a binary file define perfectly good ascii characters. Windows depends on file extensions to try to keep track of the "type" of data in a file, but that isn't foolproof. I can rename a plain ascii file with a .EXE extension.
We could be of more help, if you would take the time to explain a little about what you are trying to do.

Is there an easy way to exclude binary files (I'm working on Windows XP) from the file list returned by os.walk()?
Sure, assuming you can provide a rigorous definition of 'binary files'. :)
