Blogging Ottinger (tim)Python Unicode codecs
I discovered the python codecs module today. That took long enough. I haven’t been playing with unicode much, or at least not in python. The trick I needed was the codecs.open(fname,mode,encoding) for reading and writing unicode files. It’s awesome stuff.
Of course, as I wrote at the company blog I was able to do verification and exploration in the python interactive environment (the only environment, heh) and get this resolved very quickly with minimal help from DiveIntoPython.
Now I know how THATs done.
In python, try: help(codecs)
