Nope, both bytes in the BOM have the high-order bit set -- they're 0xFF
and 0xFE -- so the

Sure, piece of cake:

import os
def textfiles(path):
include = ('.txt', '.csv',)
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):

As long as bit 7 is a 0.
Traditional ASCII only allows/defines the values 0x00 through
0x7f. If that's what is m

you might want to look up the 'isascii' function...
i.e. - can be represented using just 7-bits.

There's no definitive way of telling a file is
"non-ascii". Bytes in a binary file define
perfectly good ascii characters. Windows
depends on file extensions to try to keep track
of the "type" of data in a file, but that isn't
foolproof. I can rename a plain ascii file with
a .EXE extension.

Sure, assuming you can provide a rigorous definition of 'binary
files'. :)

Is there an easy way to exclude binary files (I'm working on Windows XP)
from the file list returned by os.walk()?
Also, when reading files and you're unsure as to whether or not they are
ascii or binary, I've always thought it safer to 'rb' on the read, is
this correct... and if so, what's the
