[python-committers] Deny nonbreaking spaces in the precommit script?

[Guido van Rossum]

Hm, tricky, the stdlib is already supposed to be ASCII only except for
author names in comments and a few specific encoding test cases. But
since your non-breaking space was in a comment you'd have to add
another exception to whatever checker exists.

How about fixing your personal tool chain so it displays non-breaking
spaces in an obviously different way?
