Aye, thank you. I do like that syntax better.
Sometimes it's time to just quit and try again later when I'm not so
frustrated. That's when I make silly bugs.
But, we got it!
Thank you again. I think it's a nifty hack.

Marilyn,
You miss-typed the line, it should have a semicolon right after the
word "coding", such as:
# coding: utf-8
not
# coding utf-8
as you showed from your file.
The syntax suggested syntax # -*- coding: utf8 -*- by Martin is
equivalent, but I always have a hard time remembering it from t
Thank you Martin,
This:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
'''Unicode handling for 2.6.

[rest of module deleted]
produces an emacs warning:
Warning (mule): Invalid coding system `utf8' is specified
for the current buffer/file by the :coding tag.
It is highly recommended to fix it
Thank you Alexandre for your quick reply.
I tried your suggestion (again) and I still get:

OK, so this is PEP 0263. htt
When Python loads your file from your file system, it assumes all
characters in the file are ASCII. But when it hits non-ASCII
characters (currency symbols), Python doesn't know how to interpret
it. So you can give Python a hint by putting at the top of your file
the encoding of your file:
After t
Hi,
I'm still on Python 2.6 and I'm trying to work some unicode handling.
I've spent some hours on this snippet of code, trying to follow PEP 0263,
since the error tells me to see it. I've tried other docs too and I am

The code works, except for the comment at the end.

As a new user of Pytrhon and previous user of Java,C(+),Php. There is very
little difference. In some cases Python might be slower but I don't think it
would mnake that much difference. The major differnce is the syntax of how
you write and layout your code.
