Hm, tricky, the stdlib is already supposed to be ASCII only except for author names in comments and a few specific encoding test cases. But since your non-breaking space was in a comment you'd have to add another exception to whatever checker exists.
How about fixing your personal tool chain so it displays non-breaking spaces in an obviously different way?

Hi,
I introduced nonbreaking spaces in Lib/os.py in a comment, because I kept Alt Gr. key pressed to write the space after # (stupid Xorg keyboard variant!).
This change introduces a strange bug in "LANG=C ./python -m test.regrtest -v test_imp test_trace" command.
The real bug was fixed in issue #10329, but I would like to know if it would be possible to block a commit introducing nonbreaking spaces? A least for me :-)
