What's wrong with these codes as failed to read the strings in Chinese? Is it because Chinese characters can't be read on Mac? Many thanks

In Python 2.7 you can use io.open():

import io 

with io.open('namelist.txt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    for line in f:
        line = line.strip()
        print "line =", line

However, if you have the choice go with Python 3 which is where all 
improvements to the language and its libraries go.
