First of all thank you for helping me MRAB.
After make some alternation to your code ia have this:
----------------------------------------
# Give the path as a bytestring so that we'll get the filenames as bytestrings
path = b"/home/nikos/public_html/data/apps/"
# Setting TESTING to True will make it print out what renamings it will do, but
not actually do them
TESTING = True
# Walk through the files.
for root, dirs, files in os.walk( path ):
for filename in files:
try:
# Is this name encoded in UTF-8?
filename.decode('utf-8')
except UnicodeDecodeError:
# Decoding from UTF-8 failed, which means that the name
is not valid UTF-8
# It appears that the filenames are encoded in
ISO-8859-7, so decode from that and re-encode to UTF-8
new_filename =
filename.decode('iso-8859-7').encode('utf-8')
old_path = os.path.join(root, filename)
new_path = os.path.join(root, new_filename)
if TESTING:
print( '''<br>Will rename {!r} --->
{!r}<br><br>'''.format( old_path, new_path ) )
else:
print( '''<br>Renaming {!r} --->
{!r}<br><br>'''.format( old_path, new_path ) )
os.rename( old_path, new_path )
sys.exit(0)
-------------------------
and the output can be seen here: http://superhost.gr/cgi-bin/files.py
We are in test mode so i dont know if when renaming actually take place what
the encodings will be.
Shall i switch off test mode and try it for real?
