#54695 — removing BOM prepended by codecs?

I'm using:

outputfile = codecs.open (fn, 'w+', 'utf-8', errors='strict')

to write as I know that the files are unicode compliant. I run the raw 
files that are delivered through a Python script to check the unicode 
and report problem characters which are then edited. The files use a 
whole variety of languages from Sanskrit to Cyrillic and more obscure 
ones too.

I'll probably have to remove it in the servlet as we have standardised 
on utf-8. This was done some years ago when utf-16 was rare (apart from 
Macs).
