A question for encoding issue when I read file by python

Hi all,

when I try to read a file which actual encoding is gbk.

I get exception as below:

------

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/codecs.py", line 675, in readline

    return self.reader.readline(size)

UnicodeDecodeError: 'gb2312' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: illegal multibyte sequence

------

here is my code:

------

>>> import codecs

>>> f = codecs.open('namelist.txt',encoding='gb2312')

>>> f.readline()

------

Data example:
