io - Python reading from non ascii file -


i have text file contains following character: ÿ

when try , read file in i've tried both:

with open (file, "r") myfile: 

and

with codecs.open(file, encoding='utf-8') myfile: 

with success. when try read file in string using:

file_string=myfile.read() 

or

file_string=myfile.readline() 

i keep getting error:

unicodedecodeerror: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 11889: invalid start byte 

ideally want ignore character or subsitute '' or whitespace

i've come solution. use python2 instead of python3. still can't seem work in python3 though
