it might be worthwhile to be a little more sophisticated than this. Notepad itself uses character set detection [it might not be reasonable to do this on the whole file as notepad does, but maybe the first 512 bytes, or the result of read1(512)?] when opening a file of unknown encoding, and msvcrt's "ccs=UTF-8" option to fopen will at least detect at the presence of UTF-8 and UTF-16 BOMs [and treat the file as UTF-16 in the latter case]. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/7TUNPIXTWSWKTFD2LE4UBV5SOOEUBGMY/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
