Hello Does anybody know how to get the encoding of a file in Python. I know that you can use the codecs module to open a file with a specific encoding but you have to know it in advance. import codecs f = codecs.open("file.txt", "r", "utf-8") Is there a way to detect automatically which encoding is used for a file? Thanks in advance...

However, the following code: for line in open('textbase.txt', 'r'): print 'hello world' produces only the following output: hello world It's as though Python thinks the file is only one line long, though it is many thousands of lines long, when viewed in a t...

Hi, I work on a website which is all done in iso-8859-1 encoding using old ASP 3.0. I use Yahoo YQL to request data (XML) from external websites but which I request to be returned as JSON-P (JSON with a callback function so I can retrieve the data).

wcstombs documentation says, it "converts the sequence of wide-character codes to multibyte string". But it never says what is a "wide-character". Is it implicit, like say it converts utf-16 to utf-8 or the conversion is defined by some environment variable? Also what is the typical use case of wcstombs? ...
