I am looking for a way to translate and ebcidic file to ascii. Is there a
pre-existing library for this, or do I need to do this from scratch? If
> from scratch and ideas on where to start?
There are a couple of EBCDIC codecs (see list of codecs in
http://docs.python.org/library/codecs.html).
Try: open('file.txt').read().decode('ibm500').encode('ascii','replace')
You'll get '?' for chars ascii doesn't support.
