(preface my comments with "to the best of my limited knowledge" ;) The BOM character is not unexpected. SciTE is doing the right thing. An application that is unicode-aware should deal with the BOM transparently and not show it in an edit window. In what way does what bite you? Is it your editor application that needs fixing? A side note: in python 2.5 there is a new encoding called utf_8_sig. codecs now writes a BOM when you create a file with this encoding. (with the old utf_8 encoding it did not write a BOM, you had to do it yourself) - jh Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
