Thanks! Opening and saving the file with the iso-8859-1 codec seems to
handle the characters correctly. Now the only problem left are the
missing newlines in the output file. I tried googling for the iso code
for newline and entering it in a Python string as '\x0A' but it doesn't
work in the output file which still loses the newlines.
