I'm an English major who hacks scripts together to do things as needed. I used this code from the Python Cookbook for years.
https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/python-cookbook-2nd/0596007973/ch01s12.html Especially when I need to convert old WPD files to markdown, some of which don't even have file extensions, so the code helps determine what kind of file it is I am reading in conversion scripts. I tried to convert the code using 2to3 and it broke. The error I get when using Python 3 is on this line: _null_trans = string.maketrans("", "") and the error reads AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'maketrans' Any help? I barely understand the whole unicode business, but any guidance in updating the code would be much appreciated. THANKS Rick -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
