This was my biggest pain point, but it was a good pain. At $DAYJOB we had files coming from customers and telecom providers where the encoding had never been specified. By going through the conversion process, we were able to formalize the encoding of various files meaning fewer crashes when some unexpected character would slip in and fail to convert. A painful process, but the end result was better in a multitude of ways. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
