Should resolve UnicodeDecodeError: multibyte-byte.
I don't have an environment to test this; however, this version still works on my machine.

The python docs say "UTF-8 is one of the most commonly used encodings, and Python often defaults to using it."
Hmm, "often" wasn't often enough. I set encoding to "utf-8" for all open() calls. Is there a chance that doing all of them will cause a problem?
