New submission from Emile Anclin <emile.anclin at logilab.fr>:
Considering following file:
$ cat pylint/test/input/func_unknown_encoding.py
# -*- coding: IBO-8859-1 -*-
""" check correct unknown encoding declaration
"""
__revision__ = 'éééé'
$
When we try to find that module, imp.find_module raises SyntaxError:
>>> from imp import find_module
>>> find_module('func_unknown_encoding', None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
SyntaxError: encoding problem: with BOM
It should be considered as a bug, as stated by Brett Cannon:
> Considering these semantics changed between Python 2 and 3 w/o a
> discernable benefit (I would consider it a negative as finding a
> module should not be impacted by syntactic correctness; the full act
> of importing should be the only thing that cares about that), I would
> consider it a bug that should be filed.
