You can't. It's not possible unless the file format can specify the encoding somehow, e.g. like XML's header <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>. Sometimes you can try and make an educated guess. But it's just a guess and it may give you wrong results. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
