Encoding of output file

[briot]

Hello,
Thanks for the converter. I found it by chance yesterday while I was considering writing my own :-)
A minor suggestion for a fix: some of my accounts use accented letters. There is also apparently somewhere an infinity sign, though I could not find it in the XML file itself.
Nonetheless, when running your tool in Windows Powershell, I am getting

> python3 .\kmymoney2ledgers.py .\test_kmy_xml.xml

    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The simple fix I applied was to change line 439 to

    out_file_id = open(outputfile, "w", encoding="utf-8")

It likely isn't the optimal, maybe we should just apply the encoding of the input XML file itself, though I think kmymoney might always be using UTF-8 in any case.

thanks
