UnicodeDecodeError: 'shift_jis' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: illegal multibyte sequence
As Amaury says, this is CP932 and Shift-Jis-2004, but not Shift-Jis. The IBM database must be incorrect: it lists as "all aliases" both csShiftJIS and csWindows31J, yet, according to http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets they are different (MIBEnum 17 vs MIBEnum 2024). Regards, Martin
