In Windows, ANSI refers to the locale-dependent 8-bit codepage. But
there is no ANSI standard for Windows1252. It's a common misnomer in
the OS dialog boxes and controls. Another MS misnomer is labeling
UTF-16 as 'Unicode'.

Process your text with Unicode. Open the file using codecs.open set to
your platform's preferred encoding, e.g. 'cp1252' for Western,
'cp1251' for Cyrilic, or locale.getpreferredencoding() in general.
