Files are only read as UTF-8, add encoding detection #3

Description

@nbowden045

I tried to set it up with a gradebook file and got a Unicode Error message.

It turns out my files are encoded with us-ascii, maybe there could be a feature added to detect file encoding and open with the right encoding (not only support utf-8, python's default)

Some ideas: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/436220/how-to-determine-the-encoding-of-text, which would involve new dependencies on chardet or python-magic (libmagic that backs the bash file command)
