New submission from Max Cantor: When you specify a nonexistent encoding at the top of a file, like so for example:
# -*- coding: fakefakefoobar -*- The following exception occurs: SyntaxError: encoding problem: with BOM This is very unhelpful, especially in cases where you might have made a typo in the encoding. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 189840 nosy: Max.Cantor priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Unhelpful error message on invalid encoding specification type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18038> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
