how to (re)set default file open() encoding for a whole python 3 script? -


python reads default file content encoding system. *

this s.o. question demonstrates behavior

i'd override globally, in script level. not want specify in every call "open()".

for example, if windows has cp1255 legacy codepage, i'd do:

magic_set_file_open_encoding('utf8') data = open('file').read()     # contents assumed utf8 

  • why silly:

    • python3 "designed unicode". why's backward cowardliness?
    • windows' system encoding legacy features, , not basis system of government.
    • scripts' behavior unpredictable , whimsical.

you can override open file

open = functools.partial(open, encoding='utf8')  open('somefile'): f#will *new open func*     ...
