That doesn't stop many applications from doing it. Python should perhaps<wink,nudge> not produce UTF-8 + BOM without a disclaimer of indemnification against all resulting damage, signed in blood, from the user for each instance. But it should do something sane when reading such files. I can't really see any harm in throwing it away, especially since use of ZERO-WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE as a joining character has been deprecated IIRC. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
