Hello, I think the answer is basically correct but shift-jis is not a standard part of Python 2.3. You will either need to use Python 2.4 where the cjkcodes are integrated or install them under Python 2.3. The link is http://cjkpython.i18n.org/
You then also need: import cjkcodecs.aliases Richard Jeff Epler wrote: > I think you do something like this (untested): > > import codecs > > def transcode(infile, outfile, incoding="shift-jis", > outcoding="utf-8"): > f = codecs.open(infile, "rb", incoding) > g = codecs.open(outfile, "wb", outcoding) > > g.write(f.read()) > # If the file is so large that it can't be read at once, do a loop which > # reads and writes smaller chunks > # while 1: > # block = f.read(4096000) > # if not block: break > # g.write(block) > > f.close() > g.close() > > Jeff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
