filecmp is not working for UTF-8 BOM encoded files

[sureshnagarajan]

Python base package filecmp is not working properly for 'UTF-8 BOM' css files.
I am using python version 3.5 and windows 10 OS.

while running the below code getting as False always.However the file content are same.

Code :

import filecmp
filecmp.clear_cache()        
boolfile=filecmp.cmp(r'C:\Users\suresh.n\python\RPA\Page\Sowmiya\downloads\destination.txt',r'C:\Users\suresh.n\python\RPA\Page\Sowmiya\source\source[url=C:\Users\suresh.n\python\RPA\Page\Sowmiya\downloads]C:\Users\suresh.n\python\RPA\Page\Sowmiya\downloads.txt',shallow=False) 
print(boolfile) 

output

Output:
 False.

Please, use proper tags when post code, traceback, output, etc. This time I have added tags for you.
See BBcode help for more info.


Also, there is no way links to files on your local C:\ drive to work on forum.
