This is PEP 263 <http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html>, its purpose is to declare the encoding of Python source files but it actually only applies to strings, not to the code itself. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat test.py # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- print 'Hello world' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python test.py File "test.py", line 2 print 'Hello world' ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Frederic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
