Ezio Melotti added the comment: Here is a proof of concept that raises this error: >>> import json; json.load(open('input.json')) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/wolf/dev/py/2.7/Lib/json/__init__.py", line 290, in load **kw) File "/home/wolf/dev/py/2.7/Lib/json/__init__.py", line 338, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/home/wolf/dev/py/2.7/Lib/json/decoder.py", line 365, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/home/wolf/dev/py/2.7/Lib/json/decoder.py", line 381, in raw_decode obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx) ValueError: Unexpected UTF-8 BOM (decode using utf-8-sig): line 1 column 1 (char 0)
