Um, is there a way even if we don't actually know the encoding CentOS used to store the filename to hdd to tell Python to just open the bytestream as it is? I don't know if its possible, but iam looking for a way to skip the encoding, since we have now way of knowing what this is. This is very weird because: ni...@superhost.gr [~]# locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= ni...@superhost.gr [~]# all i did it was a simple rename from english to greek. Since locale is set to use utf8, shouldnt the result in the hdd be an utf-8 bytestream? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
