[issue25051] 'compile' refuses BOM.

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

open() uses locale encoding by default. You should specify correct encoding explicitly for portability and unambiguity.

>>> compile(open("bom3.py", encoding="utf-8-sig").read(), "bom3.py", 'exec')
<code object <module> at 0xb707a7a0, file "bom3.py", line 2>
