[Python-Dev] uPEP: encoding directive

[Python-Dev] uPEP: encoding directivePaul Prescod paul@prescod.net

I'd prefer if you would separate out the compile directives PEP from the
encoding PEP.

I'm +1 on compiler directives.
I'm -0 on literal encodings. It seems like more effort than is
necessary. If we're going to restrict people to ASCII-like encodings, we
could just restrict them to ASCII and get it over with.

Also, I don't like that the default mode is non-portable. The default
should be ASCII. Yes, this could cause backwards-compatibility problems.
Maybe problems should be reported with warning.

 Paul Prescod - Not encumbered by corporate consensus
Just how compassionate can a Republican get before he has to leave the 
GOP and join Vegans for Global Justice? ... One moment, George W. Bush
is holding a get-to-know-you meeting with a bunch of gay Republicans.
The next he is holding forth on education or the environment ... It is
enough to make a red-blooded conservative choke on his spotted-owl
drumstick.     - April 29th, Economist
