the name for west european encoding?
Unfortunately, there is no way, from code, to get a list of valid
encodings.
You can get a good idea of supported encodings, their names and
various aliases, by looking at the source of
Lib/encodings/aliases.py
which gives the following list of possible names for the "latin_1"
codec
'8859'
'cp819'
'csisolatin1'
'ibm819'
'iso8859'
'iso_8859_1'
'iso_8859_1_1987'
'iso_ir_100'
'l1'
'latin'
'latin1'
Any of those should work as your script encoding.
