Even with a source code encoding, you will probably have problems with source files including \xe2 and other "bad" chars. Unless they happen to fall inside a quoted string literal, I would expect to get a SyntaxError. I have come across this myself. While I haven't really investigated in great detail, it appears to happen when copying and pasting code from a document (usually HTML) which uses non-breaking spaces instead of \x20 space characters. All it takes is just one to screw things up. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
