open(filename, encoding="latin-1") will succeed with *every* file -- the characters may be nonsensical, but you will *not* get a UnicodeDecodeError. > ...is it better to try to run the file .py in python 2? Not "better", but perhaps easier. If the code works with Python 2 then I recommend that you use that. If you want help to debug it you need to provide some of the relevant source code and -- first and foremost -- the traceback. > my line is at 7414..how do you find this line? Read the traceback carefully. It should contain both filename and line. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
