python utf8sig codec this work similar to utf8 with the following changes on encodingwriting a utf8 encoded bom will be prependedwritten as the first three bytes on decodingreading if the first three bytes are a utf8 encoded bom these bytes will be skipped codec apis not enough data to decide if this really is a bom try again on the next call state1 must be 0 here as it isn t passed along to the caller state1 will be ignored by bufferedincrementaldecoder setstate not enough data to decide if this is a bom try again on the next call else no bom present encodings module api codec apis not enough data to decide if this really is a bom try again on the next call state 1 must be 0 here as it isn t passed along to the caller state 1 will be ignored by bufferedincrementaldecoder setstate not enough data to decide if this is a bom try again on the next call else no bom present encodings module api
