Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: PEP 8, section “encodings”, tells that stdlib source code in 3.x should always use ASCII or UTF-8, without encoding magic comment (since UTF-8 is the default now and ASCII is a subset of UTF-8); it explicitly mentions author names in comments or docstrings as the use case for UTF-8 bytes instead of escapes.
