how to write text into file in ansi encoding ?

[James Yu]

I just figure out the how-to:
# first we open and read in chars as in utf-8 encoding
ansiLine = line.decode('utf-8', 'ignore')
# then writing it into another file in any encoding you like, it's big5 in
my case.
src_handle.write(ansiLine.encode('big5', 'ignore'))
