[New-bugs-announce] [issue7145] UTF-16 BOM is not written by socket.makefile (but is expected by read)

[Yang Zhang]

New submission from Yang Zhang <yaaang at gmail.com>:

When I call s.makefile('r',encoding='utf-16').read(), this expects a BOM, 
but s.makefile('w',encoding='utf-16').write('hello') doesn't produce it. 
This is asymmetric.

BTW is there a way to prevent the reading file from expecting a BOM?
