Note that the cookie also implicitly tests the PEP 263 > implementation. I'm still not 100% comfortable with using arbitrary coding cookies in the Python distribution. I like having the feature, but I would prefer if the Python source distribution could be viewed with tools that aren't encoding-aware. On my Red Hat 7.2 Linux box, I have found no programs that understand the UTF8 cookie. They all seem to default to Latin-1. Since I also don't really want to assume Latin-1, I'd prefer if we could stick to ASCII, with the exception of tests explicitly needed for PEP 263. I don't want to make test_pep277.py an implicit PEP 263 test. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
