Hi! I want to write a file starting with the BOM and using UTF-8, and stumbled across some problems:
1. I would have expected one of the codecs to be 'UTF-8 with BOM' or something like that, but I can't find the correct name. Also, I can't find a way to get a list of the supported codecs at all, which strikes me as odd. 2. I couldn't find a way to write the BOM either. Writing codecs.BOM doesn't work, as it is an already encoded byte string. Of course, I can write u'\ufeff', but I'd rather avoid such magic numbers in my code. 3. The docs mention encodings.utf_8_sig, available since 2.5, but I can't locate that thing there either. What's going on here? What would you do?
