reading your resposes, still ahvent rewad them all just Cameron's:
Here is what i have now following Cameron's advices:
#========================================================
# Collect filenames of the path directory as bytes
path = b'/home/nikos/public_html/data/apps/'
filenames_bytes = os.listdir( path )
for filename_bytes in filenames_bytes:
try:
filename = filename_bytes.decode('utf-8)
except UnicodeDecodeError:
# Since its not a utf8 bytestring then its for sure a greek
bytestring
# Prepare arguments for rename to happen
utf8_filename = filename_bytes.encode('utf-8')
greek_filename = filename_bytes.encode('iso-8859-7')
utf8_path = path + utf8_filename
greek_path = path + greek_filename
# Rename current filename from greek bytes --> utf8 bytes
os.rename( greek_path, utf8_path )
==========================================
I know this is wrong though.
Yet you did it anyway!
Since filename_bytes is the current filename encoded as utf8 or greek-iso
then i cannot just *encode* what is already encoded by doing this:
utf8_filename = filename_bytes.encode('utf-8')
greek_filename = filename_bytes.encode('iso-8859-7')
Try reading and understanding the code I originally posted.
