It's completely unnecessary, and could cause problems (the BOM is actually whitespace, albeit zero-width, so it could effectively indent the first line of your source code). UTF-8 specifies the byte order as part of the protocol, so you don't need to mark it. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
