interoperability is a pain, though, and I find it depressing to work
with in Python2.x, because it never seems to behave predictably. I
still have no idea why tokenizing Hungarian text and tokenizing German
text are not fundamentally the same operation
I have no idea why they're not:
<code - untested>
import codecs
with codecs.open ("german.txt", "rb", encoding="utf8") as f:
german_text = f.read ()
with codecs.open ("hungarian.txt", "rb", encoding="utf8") as f:
hungarian_text = f.read ()
# do_stuff_with (german_text)
# do_stuff_with (hungarian_text)
</code>
Of course, I'm assuming that you know what encoding has been
used to serialise the text, but if you don't then it's not
Python's fault ;)
