Marcus Gröber added the comment: I came across this today as well. A short way of summarizing this error seems to be:
Reading a file using readline (or "for line in file") fails, if the following two conditions are true: • A codec (e.g. UTF-8) for a multi-byte encoding is used, and • The first line of the file is at least 73 bytes long, and contains a multi-byte-sequence that starts before offset 72, and ends after offset 72 At least for UTF-8 input files, it may be possible to work around this by opening the input file without a codec, and then applying decode("utf-8") to each line. ---------- nosy: +Marcus.Gröber _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15278> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
