Re: [Tutor] Using the =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=A3_symbol?=

[Kent Johnson]

The problem is that you typed an actual '£' into your program text. The compiler is complaining 
because, absent an explicit encoding declaration, it expects the text to be ascii.

I think there are two ways to solve this:
- write the string with '\xc2' instead of '£'; it has the same meaning
- put the coding declaration as described in PEP 263
You don't say what OS or locale you are using, but since your email is in UK 
probably you want
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-

this and b) what encoding to use.  Can anyone help ?
