OK, so there's no way to determine in advance what values of enc will work in bytestr.decode(enc) or str.encode(enc)? Is there a reason why not? As I say, a tool that offers to re-encode a file could reasonably be expected to list the encodings it supported (if only to help the user work out which way to spell utf-16le or utf16le or utf16-le or utf-16-le or... :-)) I've raised http://bugs.python.org/issue17878 for this. Further discussion may be more appropriate there than on python-dev. Paul
