Hello and thanks for the proposal. Could you check out other pull requests related to character encoding? How does this one differ from them?

Hi @adrienverge, happy connecting.

There are total 3 merge requests related to encoding.
1- #630
2- #240
3- #696 (CURRENT MERGE REQUEST)

The https://github.com/adrienverge/yamllint/pull/630/files#diff-2e0288fc9fc3cda09f90a25f76bedb9ce0cea019d01147b436e575c71a3e674eR222 merge request looks fine but it doesn't have the change I applied.

My problem is that I have Persian UTF8 text in my YAML files and the problem was related to the 'cli.py' file.

Related to my issue https://github.com/adrienverge/yamllint/pull/240/files looks like a good patch as it can automatically detect the encoding and then use that in reading the file but I can see your comments there and it seems you are not happy to add new dependencies. Q: "I'm very against adding dependencies (like chardet)."

Hello Max, thanks. It looks like #630 solves the same problem but is more complete and future-proof. Also, your PR doesn't fix encoding problems for other files such as configuration. What do you think?

My problem is that I have Persian UTF8 text in my YAML files and the problem was related to the 'cli.py' file.

In the meantime, a solution is to tell Python to read files as UTF-8 by default:

export PYTHONUTF8=1
yamllint your-file.yaml

Thank you @adrienverge, I added PYTHONUTF8 var to our pre-commit env config. SalamLang/Salam@db7e870

@jbampton and I will do more testing.
