Eclipse/PyDev - BOM Lexical Error
Hi. I installed eclipse/pydev today. I created a pydev project and added python source files with utf-8 BOM. Eclipse/Pydev reports lexical error : Lexical error at line 1, column 1. Encountered: "\ufeff" (65279), after : "" I want the source files to have BOM character. How could I shut off this error msg? My eclipse is Helios, pydev version is 1.6.2.2010090812 Thanks. -- Daewon YOON -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I just don't want me or other project members to accidentally save them in different encoding. So I (and my team) thought it would be safe to have the BOM character. Anybody any idea?

Anyway, it would be great if I could make my eclipse/pydev to understand the BOM character and suppress the lexical error msg. -- Daewon YOON -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
