I know now that I could always edit with IDLE's editor, but it is a lot easier to right click and select edit than it is to run thru the directory tree in an open dialog.

If you want a decent free text editor on Windows, the open source Notepad++ does a very nice job. It also adds an "Edit with Notepad++" to the explorer context menu :)

And of course, since the pseudo-BOM addition is undocumented within notepad itself, and probably other editors, it is easy to not know.

As far as the implicit BOM addition itself goes, reindent.py and reindent-rst.py could probably be updated to check for it, but the miscellaneous files (like ACKS) are likely to continue to need manual checks.

Cheers, Nick.
