I need to convert a bunch of files to utf-8 in Python, and I have trouble with the "converting the file" part. I'd like to do the equivalent of: iconv -t utf-8 $file > converted/$file # this is shell code. Thanks!
Try writing the Unicode string for the byte order mark (i.e. Unicode U+FEFF) directly, so that the file just encodes that as UTF-8: import codecs file = codecs.open("lol", "w", "utf-8") file.write(u'\ufeff') file.close() (That seems to give the right answer - a file with bytes EF BB BF.)
This works for reading a file with UTF-8 encoding in Python 3.2: import codecs f = codecs.open('file_name.txt', 'r', 'UTF-8') for line in f: print(line)
2 dni temu · UTF stands for “Unicode Transformation Format”, and the ‘8’ means that 8-bit values are used in the encoding. (There are also UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings, but they are less frequently used than UTF-8.)
To write a file in Unicode (UTF-8) encoding in Python, you can use the built-in open() function with the 'w' mode and specifying the encoding as "utf-8". Here's an example: with open ("file.txt", "w", encoding= "utf-8") as f: f.write("Hello, world!")
8 wrz 2024 · Converting a file to UTF-8 encoding in Python 3 is a simple and effective process. By utilizing the codecs module, we can open a file with a specific encoding, read its contents, and write them to a new file with the desired UTF-8 encoding.
12 lut 2024 · To handle UTF-8 encoded files, you need to specify the encoding parameter: file = open(file_path, mode="r", encoding="utf-8") file_path: The path to the file you want to read. mode: The mode in which the file is opened, 'r' for reading. encoding: The encoding used for decoding the file.
