Comment (by chrisz):
hhsuper, your "ascii.py" file is in fact ''not'' ascii encoded, but
encoded with windows-936 or something. Obviously you ''cannot'' encode a
file with ascii that contains non-ascii characters.
The point is that none of our quickstart template files contains any non-
ascii characters. So whether you store them as ascii or utf-8 makes ''no
difference'', they ''are both'' valid ascii files and valid utf-8 files at
the same time. What happens when you start entering non-ascii chars and
save these files depends solely on the default encoding of your editor (it
seems it's windows 936). The only way to enforce UTF-8 would be to add a
BOM at the beginning of the file, but some programs or people could have
problems with this since it is not very common in the Linux world.
