Well, that is certainly a nuisance. Try something like this:
# Untested.
dir = b'/home/nikos/public_html/data/apps/' # This must be bytes.
files = os.listdir(dir)
for name in files:
pathname_as_bytes = dir + name
for encoding in ('utf-8', 'iso-8859-7', 'latin-1'):
try:
pathname = pathname_as_bytes.decode(encoding)
except UnicodeDecodeError:
continue
# Rename to something valid in UTF-8.
if encoding != 'utf-8':
os.rename(pathname_as_bytes, pathname.encode('utf-8'))
assert os.path.exists(pathname)
break
else:
# This only runs if we never reached the break.
raise ValueError('unable to clean filename %r'%pathname_as_bytes)
