New submission from Martijn Pieters: To reproduce, create an ASCII file with > io.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE bytes (can be blank lines) and *UNIX line endings*, with the first two lines reading:
#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: cp1252 -*- Try to run this as a script on Windows: C:\Python35\python.exe encoding-problem-cp1252.py File "encoding-problem-cp1252.py", line 2 SyntaxError: encoding problem: cp1252 Converting the file to use CRLF (Windows) line endings makes the problem go away. This appears to be a fallout from issue #20731.
