It doesn't. You have to tell. *If* the file uses cp1253 you can open it with
open(..., encoding="cp1253")
Note that if the file is not in cp1253 python will still happily open it as
long as it doesn't contain the following bytes:
>>> for i in range(256):
... try: chr(i).decode("cp1253") and None
... except: print i
