New submission from Sean Wang <wangxiao8...@gmail.com>:
ConfigParser failed to parse a utf-8 file with BOM bytes('\xef\xbb\xbf'),
it would raise ConfigParser.MissingSectionHeaderError.
I think that other files with BOM would have the same problem; because the
argument "SECTCRE" does not consider the BOM conditions.
Now the workaround is like below:
cp=ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
cfgfile=os.path.join(curpath,'config.cfg')
cp.readfp(codecs.open(cfgfile, 'r','utf-8-sig'))
