I've never used Python 3, so forgive me if these are naive questions.
Let's say you had an input stream which contained the following hex
values:
$ hexdump data
0000000 d7 a8 a3 88 96 95
That's EBCDIC for "Python". What would I write in Python 3 to read that
file and print it back out as utf-8 encoded Unicode?
Or, how about a slightly different example:
$ hexdump data
0000000 43 6c 67 75 62 61
That's "Python" in rot-13 encoded ascii. How would I turn that into
cleartext Unicode in Python 3?
