+ Encodings (PEP 263)
+
+ Code in the core Python distribution should aways use the ASCII or
+ Latin-1 encoding (a.k.a. ISO-8859-1). Files using ASCII should
+ not have a coding cookie. Latin-1 should only be used when a
+ comment or docstring needs to mention an author name that requires
+ Latin-1; otherwise, using \x escapes is the preferred way to
+ include non-ASCII data in string literals. An exception is made
+ for those files that are part of the test suite for the code
+ implementing PEP 263.
