text_864 = "\xd1"
unicode_string = unicode(text_864, encoding="cp864") # cp864 = IBM 864
The above code is working with Python 2.4.
Unfortunately, it doesn't support IBM 420 & Nafitha. The mapping between IBM
864 and unicode is in Lib/encodings & the file is very simple. You can add your
own easily, if you knew how to do the decoding first ;)
