I wanted to know what encoding should I use to open the files with
Devanagari characters. I was thinking of UTF-8 but was not sure, any
leads on this? Anyone used it earlier?
Are we talking about existing files? If you don't know what encoding
the files use, you could always try using the UTF-8 codec; it's very
likely to complain if you're attempting to decode something that's isn't
UTF-8.
If that doesn't work, it's a bit trickier -- there are several ways to
encode Unicode, and then there's ISCII as well. If you cannot sort it
out, try running this:
>>> f = open("myfile.txt", "rb")
>>> f.read(32)
on one of your files, and post the result, and chances are that someone
will be able to identify the encoding.
