[New-bugs-announce] [issue8988] import + coding = failure (3.1.2/win32)

[gonegown]

New submission from gonegown <nomedocac at gmail.com>:

I have python 3.1.2 fetched from the main site.

imagine two source files:

a.py:
-------
# coding: cp1251
import b;
print('A');
-------

b.py:
-------
print('B');
-------

Both reside in the same directory containing at least one non-ascii character (try 0xdb) in the _path_.

import will fail with an empty error!
#coding here works fine with utf-8 and fails using any other one

now tell me how the hell can file system encoding be related to file content encoding?!

I've attached the source
