Let's say you had an input stream which contained the following hex values: $ hexdump data 0000000 d7 a8 a3 88 96 95 That's EBCDIC for "Python". What would I write in Python 3 to read that file and print it back out as utf-8 encoded Unicode? Or, how about a slightly different example: $ hexdump data 0000000 43 6c 67 75 62 61 That's "Python" in rot-13 encoded ascii. How would I turn that into cleartext Unicode in Python 3? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
