[Python-Dev] Unicode decode exception

[balaji marisetti]

Hi,

When I try to iterate through the lines of a
file("openssl-1.0.1j/crypto/bn/asm/x86_64-gcc.c"), I get a
UnicodeDecodeError (in python 3.4.0 on Ubuntu 14.04). But there is no
such error with python 2.7.6. What could be the problem?

In [39]: with open("openssl-1.0.1j/crypto/bn/asm/x86_64-gcc.c") as f:
                 for line in f:
                     print (line)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    311         # decode input (taking the buffer into account)
    312         data = self.buffer + input
--> 313         (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data,
self.errors, final)
    314         # keep undecoded input until the next call
    315         self.buffer = data[consumed:]
