Well, there are other problems with utf-16, e.g. when opening an existing file for appending, the BOM is written again: >>> f = open('utf16.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-16') >>> f.write('abc') 3 >>> f.close() >>> f = open('utf16.txt', 'a', encoding='utf-16') >>> f.write('def') 3 >>> f.close() >>> open('utf16.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-16').read() 'abc\ufeffdef' Who said TextIOWrapper was sane? :-o
