How do I convert a file's format from Unicode to ASCII using Python?

Asked 2008-10-06T17:11:30.427

I use a 3rd party tool that outputs a file in Unicode format. However, I prefer it to be in ASCII. The tool does not have settings to change the file format.

What is the best way to convert the entire file format using Python?
