You are right! I tried to do the same exact openign via IDLE enviroment and i goth the encoding of the file from there! >>> open("d:\\test\\index.php" ,'r') <_io.TextIOWrapper name='d:\\test\\index.php' encoding='cp1253'> Thats why in the error in my previous post it said File "C:\Python32\lib\encodings\cp1253.py", line 23, in decode it tried to use the cp1253 encoding. But now sicne Python as we see can undestand the nature of the encoding what causing it not to open the file? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
