Summary: Deprecation Warning lies when it cannot parse your encoding

Initial Comment:
The first line of my python file was:
# -*- coding: 'iso-8859-1' -*-

This is wrong, I need to drop the quotes.  But Python
2.3.4 (#2, Jun 19 2004, 18:15:30) is wrong, also, when it
complains:
sys:1: DeprecationWarning: Non-ASCII character '\xf6'
in file test_stockdict.py on line 14, but no encoding
declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263

I don't see why this should be wrong: if the parser cannot
parse the encoding comment, it simply ignores it and then
continues to work as if no encoding comment were given.
