[New-bugs-announce] [issue21086] Source with "# -*- coding: ASCII -*-" and UNIX EOL (\n) results in SyntaxError

[Morten Z]

New submission from Morten Z:

Python 3.4 introduced a problem with use of

# -*- coding: ASCII -*-

so when running on Windows, the EOL must be Windows type, and else an error is generated.


See trials below:


C:\>Python34\python.exe hello_unix.py
  File "hello_unix.py", line 3
    II -*-
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


C:\>Python34\python.exe hello_win.py
