Python read（）适用于UTF-8，但readlines（）“不”

Question

So, I am working with a (huge) UTF-8 encoded file. The first thing I do with it it's get it's lines in a list using the File Object readlines() method. However when I use the print command for debugging I get things like, for example, \\xc3 etc.

Here's a really small example that replicates my problem; I created a t.txt file that contains only the text "Clara Martínez"

f = open("t.txt", "r")
s = f.read()
print s
Clara Martínez
#If I do the following however
lines = f.readlines()
for l in lines:
    print l
['Clara Mart\xc3\xadnez']
#write however works fine!
f2 = open("t2.txt", "w")
for l in lines:
    f2.write(l)
f2.close()
f1.close()

And then I open the "t2.txt", the string is correct, ie: Clara Martínez. Is there any way to "make" readlines() work as read()?

Answer 1

You claim that this:

lines = f.readlines()
for l in lines:
    print l

Will result in this:

['Clara Mart\xc3\xadnez']

This is not true, it will not. I think you made a mistake in your code, and wrote this:

lines = f.readlines()
for l in lines:
    print lines

That code will give the result you say, assuming the file contains only one line with the text 'Clara Mart\\xc3\\xadnez' .
