You are correct again! 3.2 caused the problem, i switched to 2.7 and
now i donyt have that problem anymore. File is openign okey!

it ALMOST convert correctly!

# replace tags
print ( 'replacing php tags and contents within' )
src_data = re.sub( '<\?(.*?)\?>', '', src_data )

it only convert the first instance of php tages and not the rest?
But why?
