In Python 2.7 you can use io.open():

import io 

with io.open('namelist.txt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    for line in f:
        line = line.strip()
        print "line =", line

However, if you have the choice go with Python 3 which is where all 
improvements to the language and its libraries go.
