Yes, you are right. I fixed the file, yet another error pops up (http://www.file-upload.net/download-1299688/2008_12_05_Handy_Backup.txt.html): Traceback (most recent call last): File "./modify.py", line 12, in <module> a = AddressBook("2008_12_05_Handy_Backup.txt") File "./modify.py", line 7, in __init__ line = f.readline() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.0/io.py", line 1807, in readline while self._read_chunk(): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.0/io.py", line 1556, in _read_chunk self._set_decoded_chars(self._decoder.decode(input_chunk, eof)) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.0/io.py", line 1293, in decode output = self.decoder.decode(input, final=final) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.0/codecs.py", line 300, in decode (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.0/encodings/utf_16.py", line 69, in _buffer_decode return self.decoder(input, self.errors, final) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf16' codec can't decode byte 0x0a in position 0: truncated data File size is 1630 bytes - so this clearly cannot be.
