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'))
