Yes, exactly :) It's also worth noting that the files *already* use Emacs-specific markup in the form of the "-*-" markers. Python doesn't care about those at all, but Emacs relies on them. The reviewers in https://review.openstack.org/95886/ suggests removing the coding lines completely and also remove non-ASCII characters as necessary to make that possible. I can definitely do that instead if people like that better. The only problem I see is that we'll have to hope that © is the only non-ASCII character -- I haven't checked if that's the case yet, but it's not uncommon to find non-ASCII characters in author names as well. > You could create a bug I suppose to reference all the changes though I > don't think that's mandatory since this isn't user facing. Okay, I'm not really familiar with the process around here. I hoped I could just make some commits and submit them for review :) -- Martin Geisler https://plus.google.com/+MartinGeisler/
