New submission from Stephen Tucker <stephen_tuc...@sil.org>:
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. ---------- messages: 353841 nosy: Stephen_Tucker priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: No Module named ..." and UTF-8 Byte Order Marks _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38363> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
