Well it is only a 2 line program and he did ask nicely after all, if you
begrudge him it then feel free to not answer, righteous indignation
rarely helps anyone.
Dear OP...
Put the following 2 lines into a file and save it as spacer.py
import sys
print ' '.join([e for e in open(sys.argv[1], 'r').read()])
Then open a terminal window and 'cd' to the same folder you just saved
the spacer.py file in. Type...
python spacer.py inputfile.txt > outputfile.txt
This will run inputfile.txt through the space adding program we have
just saved and then 'pipe' the output of that into a new file
outputfile.txt
Hope this helps,

That seems a bit dangerous to give to a beginner at Python, without
discussing Unicode issues. If he's in Python 3.x, and if the default
encoder is ASCII, which it seems to be most places, then he'll quickly
get a conversion error for some character. And if it's some other 8 bit
form, he might not get an error, but find that a space is inserted
between two of the bytes of a UTF-8 code.

He said he's running the latest python and fedora, AFAIK the default for
these systems is still the 2 series, not 3.
Roger.
That's even worse. As far as I can tell, the code will never do what he
wants in Python 2.x. The Kannada text file is full of Unicode
characters in some encoding, and if you ignore the encoding, you'll just
get garbage.
