That's not correct. The encoding declaration is very flexible. Any of these will be accepted: # This file uses the encoding: utf_8 # coding=UTF-8 # -*- coding: utf8 -*- # vim: set fileencoding=utf-8 : # Uses encoding:utf8 # I want my encoding=UtF_8 okay! #### textencoding= UTf-8 blah blah blah and many, many other varieties. The rules are: (1) It must be a comment; (2) It must be in the first or second line of the file; (3) It must match the regular expression r"coding[:=]\s*([-\w.]+)" However, just because you declare the file to be UTF-8, doesn't mean it *actually is* UTF-8. If your text editor is configured to use (say) Latin-1, a UTF-8 encoding declaration will just give you garbage. * Fix your system to use UTF-8 by default. * Fix your editor to use UTF-8. * Add a UTF-8 encoding declaration. And then things should work. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
