Thanks! Opening and saving the file with the iso-8859-1 codec seems to handle the characters correctly. Now the only problem left are the missing newlines in the output file. I tried googling for the iso code for newline and entering it in a Python string as '\x0A' but it doesn't work in the output file which still loses the newlines.
