ConfigParser failed to parse a utf-8 file with BOM bytes('\xef\xbb\xbf'),
it would raise ConfigParser.MissingSectionHeaderError.
I think that other files with BOM would have the same problem; because the argument "SECTCRE" does not consider the BOM conditions.
Now the workaround is like below:
cp=ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
cfgfile=os.path.join(curpath,'config.cfg')
cp.readfp(codecs.open(cfgfile, 'r','utf-8-sig'))

Could you paste the exact code that fails? In 3.2+ there is a read_something method that takes an encoding argument, so that should work for example. |

What you considered a workaround is actually what you should be using faced with BOM bytes. This is a broader issue in Python, not necessarily connected with ConfigParser or any other library. Also, this has been already reported here: http://bugs.python.org/issue7519 For the UTF-8 BOM context please see: http://bugs.python.org/issue7651 To solve the actual problem we should really do something about that last issue. If you have any further questions, please ask. If not, I will close this issue. |
