I have the following program that reads a file word by word and writes the word again to another file but without the non-ascii characters from the first file.
import unicodedata
import codecs
infile = codecs.open('d.txt','r',encoding='utf-8',errors='ignore')
outfile = codecs.open('d_parsed.txt','w',encoding='utf-8',errors='ignore')
for line in infile.readlines():
for word in line.split():
outfile.write(word+" ")
outfile.write("\n")
infile.close()
outfile.close()
The only problem that I am facing is that with this code it does not print a new line to the second file (d_parsed). Any clues??

codecs.open() doesn't support universal newlines e.g., it doesn't translate \r\n to \n while reading on Windows.
Use io.open() instead:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import print_function
import io
with io.open('d.txt','r',encoding='utf-8',errors='ignore') as infile, \
io.open('d_parsed.txt','w',encoding='ascii',errors='ignore') as outfile:
for line in infile:
print(*line.split(), file=outfile)
btw, if you want to remove non-ascii characters, you should use ascii instead of utf-8.
If the input encoding is compatible with ascii (such as utf-8) then you could open the file in binary mode and use bytes.translate() to remove non-ascii characters:
#!/usr/bin/env python
nonascii = bytearray(range(0x80, 0x100))
with open('d.txt','rb') as infile, open('d_parsed.txt','wb') as outfile:
for line in infile: # b'\n'-separated lines (Linux, OSX, Windows)
outfile.write(line.translate(None, nonascii))
It doesn't normalize whitespace like the first code example.
