Nope, both bytes in the BOM have the high-order bit set -- they're 0xFF
and 0xFE -- so the

Sure, piece of cake:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
def textfiles(path):
include = ('.txt', '.csv',)
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):

As long as bit 7 is a 0.
Traditional ASCII only allows/defines the values 0x00 through
0x7f. If that's what is m

There's no definitive way of telling a file is
"non-ascii". Bytes in a binary file define
perfectly good ascii characters. Windows
depends on file extensions to try to keep track
of the "type" of data in a file, but that isn't
foolproof. I can rename a plain ascii file with
a .EXE extension.

Sure, assuming you can provide a rigorous definition of 'binary
files'. :)
