[Tutor] appending to a utf-16 encoded text file

[Tim Brown]

Hi,
I'm trying to create and append unicode strings to a utf-16 text file.
The best I could come up with was to use codecs.open() with an 
encoding of 'utf-16' but when I do an append I get another UTF16 BOM 
put into the file which other programs do not expect to see :-(
Is there some way to stop codecs from doing this or is there a better
way to create and add data to a utf-16 text file?

Thanks Tim.
