the encoding= option of open() applies to the file contents (according to The Python Library Reference) . there appears to be no way to specify the encoding of the file name. does this mean 'utf-8' is implied? it seems to work that way.

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American.
