You are explicitly setting an encoding to read the file; that is good, since Python should not guess the input encoding. The reason it's good is because the issue, of knowing the correct text encoding, is dealt with immediately. I am guessing the text encoding may be not as you expect. Are you certain the text encoding is “utf-8”? Can you verify that with whatever created the file — what text encoding does it use to write that file? -- \ “Advertising is the price companies pay for being unoriginal.” | `\ —Yves Béhar, _New York Times_ interview 2010-12-30 | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
