encoding - arabic(IBM 864) to UNICODE

[Mohammad Tayseer]

text_864 = "\xd1"
unicode_string = unicode(text_864, encoding="cp864") # cp864 = IBM 864

The above code is working with Python 2.4.

Unfortunately, it doesn't support IBM 420 & Nafitha. The mapping between IBM 864 and unicode is in Lib/encodings & the file is very simple. You can add your own easily, if you knew how to do the decoding first ;)
