I'm having trouble with the BOM that is now prepended to codecs files.
The files have to be read by java servlets which expect a clean file
without any BOM.
Is there a way to stop the BOM being written?
It is seriously messing up my work as the servlets do not expect it to
be there. I could delete it but that means another delay in retrieving
the data. My work is a bibliographic system and I'm writing a new search
engine in Python to replace an ancient one in C.
I'm working on Linux with a locale of en_GB.UTF8
