In Python 3, I believe this should work: f = open("filename", encoding="which-encoding-you-use") text = f.read() f.close() In Python 2, you probably need to do this: f = open("filename") bytes = f.read() text = bytes.decode('which-encoding-you-use') f.close() Hope this helps. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
