Yes I have a source code encoding line. Here it is: # -*- coding: utf_16 -*- I am using WxPython. And the error that I get about using utf-16 is:\ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "z.py", line 2 SyntaxError: UTF-16 stream does not start with BOM -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
