[New-bugs-announce] [issue21509] json.load fails to read UTF-8 file with (BOM) Byte Order Marks

[Kristian Benoit]

New submission from Kristian Benoit:

I'm trying to parse a json and keep getting ValueError. File reports the file as being "UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text", vim reports it as UTF-8, ...

json.load docs says it support UTF-8 out of the box.

Here's a link to the file : http://donnees.ville.sherbrooke.qc.ca/storage/f/2014-03-10T17%3A45%3A18.959Z/matieres-residuelles.json
