PEP 263 states that in Phase 2 the default encoding will be set to ASCII. Although the PEP is marked final, this isn't actually implemented. The warning about using non-ASCII characters started in 2.3. Does anyone think we shouldn't enforce the default being ASCII?
This means if an # -*- coding: ... -*- is not set and non-ASCII characters are used, an error will be generated. n _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
