Yes, thanks for this suggestion, it seems the best to me. Actually RTF
is not UTF-8 encoded, it's 8

Another possibility is to open the file in binary mode and do the

solution, since I'm not sure RTF uses utf-8 by default.
That's a lot cleaner as it doesn't use two interfaces to write to the

You should use the built-in open() function. codecs.open() is outdated in
Python 3.

Thanks, I'll try this.

The purpose is to embed PNG pictures in an RTF file that will be read
by OpenOffice. It seems that OpenOffice reads RTF in 8-bit, so it
should be ok.
The RTF is produced from a TeX

You mean encoder.

Hello.
I have to read the contents of a binary file (a PNG file exactly), and
dump it into an RTF file.
The RTF-file has been opened with codecs.open in utf-8 mode.
As I expected, the utf-8 decoder chokes on some combinations of bits;
how can I tell python to dump the bytes as they are, without
