Hello. In Python 3, when opening a file without declaring the encoding keyword is Python going to guess the encoding of the file or just use the default? That is, assume the file is UTF-8?
What led me to wonder this is that on Mac OS X 10.4.11, opening a file containing UTF-8 encoded text creates a unicode object under the assumption the text was "mac roman" encoding. This seems like a bug. It works if I set the encoding to UTF-8 explicitly. I can post the code but it sounds like there are some Mac encoding issues in flux so I thought to ask first. thanks, Kumar _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
