This works for me, too. What I tried and what failed was import encodings encodings.utf_8_sig which raises an AttributeError or dir(encodings), which doesn't show the according element. If I do it your way, the encoding then shows up in the content of the module. Apart from the encoding issue, I don't understand this behaviour. Is the module behaving badly or are my expectations simply flawed? Thanks!
