Nit: PEP-8 requires func(foo='bar') -- without surrounding whitespaces.

I would read the binary file using 'rb+' (to bytes) and convert strings,
which are known to be correct utf-8/ascii to Python strings (unicode)
manually, but your solution should work too (and requires less code).

I was afraid that f.read() will see some bytes that're undefined in the
ISO-8859-1 encoding and it'll lead to an exception like it does for
UTF-8. But no, it just returns u'\x00' or kinda.

Okay so.
