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.

tl;dr: Don’t mangle people’s names, fix tabnanny.
