Okey after reading also Steven post, i was relived form the previous suck
position i was, so with an alternation of a few variable names here is the code
now:
#========================================================
# Collect directory and its filenames as bytes
path = b'/home/nikos/public_html/data/apps/'
files = os.listdir( path )
for filename in files:
# Compute 'path/to/filename'
filepath_bytes = path + filename
for encoding in ('utf-8', 'iso-8859-7', 'latin-1'):
try:
filepath = filepath_bytes.decode( encoding )
except UnicodeDecodeError:
continue
# Rename to something valid in UTF-8
if encoding != 'utf-8':
os.rename( filepath_bytes, filepath.encode('utf-8') )
assert os.path.exists( filepath )
break
else:
# This only runs if we never reached the break
raise ValueError( 'unable to clean filename %r' %
filepath_bytes )
=================================
I dont know why it is still failing when it tried to decode stuff since it
tries 3 ways of decoding. Here is the exact error.
