Thank you for your reply.
You are right, Python reads data form the file in bytes and all data in this 
case is ASCII


I solved the problem, just added line = line.decode('string_escape')

f = open ("aword.txt", "r")
for line in f:
     line = line.decode('string_escape')
     print chardet.detect(line)
     b = line.decode('cp1251')
     print b
-- 
Only one 0_o
