False alarm, see Stephen Tucker's message here

https://bugs.python.org/issue38365#msg353854

File name has a trailing space which is why it wasn't found.

[issue38363] No Module named ..." and UTF-8 Byte Order Marks

[Stephen Tucker]

New submission from Stephen Tucker :

Hi,

I am running Python 2.7.10 on Windows 10.

I have discovered that if a .py source text file (that is, a Module text
file) starts with a UTF-8 Byte Order Mark, the module does not get "found"
by the  import  statement.

I have just spent an inordinate amount of time reaching this conclusion.

I realise that 2.7.10 is probably not being supported any more, however,
please let me ask the questions anyway:

Could ...
   Either:   ... the error message please be more helpful? (Like, for
example,  "Module begins with a Byte Order Mark")
   Or:... the BOM be allowed at the start of a Module?

Thanks.

Stephen Tucker.
