[New-bugs-announce] [issue3574] compile() cannot decode Latin-1 source encodings

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

The following leads to a SyntaxError in 3.0:

  compile(b'# coding: latin-1\nu = "\xC7"\n', '<dummy>', 'exec')

That is not the case in Python 2.6.
