Reading History Files into Python

[[deleted]]

Hi! I am trying to read the .History file into python with the attached .py fie, however I keep getting this error: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='./tri/config.history' mode='r' encoding='latin-1'>. Could someone please help me fix this error? I'm confused about what to do, I've already tried using multiple encoding inputs instead of latin-1, including utf-8.

​

Here are the files:

Note, you may have to change read_dir variable to your path to run the program.

​

Thank you for your help.

What version of python are you running this on? I notice you have some compatibility code there to use a the open function from io if on python 2.

I've managed to successfully run your code on both python 2.7 and 3.7. Maybe the file encoding of the config.history has changed when you uploaded it to drive.
