No! What is the content of the file? Do you think it can be a pure python
representation of a unicode text?
uContent = inFile.read().decode(***format***)
<process, if any>
outFile.write(uContent.encode('utf-8'))
input -->decode--> process -->encode--> output
This gives me an idea: when working with unicode, it would be cool to have an
optional format parameter for file.read() and write. So, the above would be:
uContent = inFile.read(***format***)
<process, if any>
outFile.write(uContent, 'utf-8')
Or, maybe even better, the format could be given as third parameter of file
open(); then any read or write operation would directly convert from/to the
said format. What do you all think?
