i have a bunch of files encoded in GB18030. Is there a way to convert
them to utf16 with python?

You will need CJKCodecs (http://cjkpython.i18n.org/), or Python 2.4,
which has them built in. Then just use them like any other codec. eg.

f= open(path, 'rb')
content= unicode(f.read(), 'gb18030')
f.close()
f= open(path, 'wb')
f.write(content.encode('utf-16'))
f.close()
