Hello,
While I rather like this new feature, I think that the current implementation is too rigour. Imagine a student that writes her first script:
name = raw_input("What's your name? ") # a russian phrase here print "Hi %s!" % name
With Python 2.3a1, she'll get DeprecationWarning. With a future version of Python, this code would cause SyntaxError.
Does anyone really think that she must define a source code encoding here? That claim would break any possibility to use Python in schools. We have a lot of troubles with broken i18n support in IDLE and Tkinter, but this would be a total nightmare.
Also defining encoding is useless here, since it affects only Unicode literals.
A gargantuan thread on this topic seems to have *just* petered out. http://groups.google.com/ will give you the whole thing, if it is already gone (unlikely!) from your local news feed.
