I have tried the "utf-8-sig" and it does not work in this case or rather I think not the csv module is wrong. The seek() does not work correctly in the csv file or object. With "utf-8-sig" the file is opend correctly and the first row does not include the BOM problem. It is great. I am sorry I have not known this until now. (I am not a python expert yet :)) However, I have gote some misstake like this 'AFTE\ufeffVALUE".WAV' during my running script. "AFTER" is a valid string in the given csv file but the BOM follows it. This happens after when I seek up to "0" some times in the csv file. And the string "aftevalue" LEAVE_HIGHWAY-E" is produced which is wrong. My sollution is that I convert the csv object into a list after the file openeing: InDistancesFile = codecs.open( Root, 'r', encoding='utf-8' ) txt = InDistancesFile.read()[1:] # to leave the BOM lines = txt.splitlines()[1:] # to leave the first row which is a header InDistancesObj = list(csv.reader( lines )) # convert the csv reader object into a simple list Many thanks for your help, Istvan ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7185> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
