open() alternative which respects Unicode BOM

Project description

Context manager to open a file or stdin/stdout. Encoding of text-mode input is detected with chardet. Pass additional args/kwargs to open().

Differences from open()

If file=None or file='-', open stdin (when reading) or stdout (when writing) instead.

Write Unicode BOM by default. To override, set encoding='utf-8' or non-unicode encoding. Python writes BOM for utf-8-sig, utf-16, or utf-32. BOM is not written if endianness is specified.
