[Python-Dev] UTF8 in the PEP branch

[Facundo Batista]

There were two tracker issues that I want to solve that implies to
touch some PEP text.

So, I checked out the PEP branch...

  svn.python.org/peps/trunk

...and made a "make".

A lot of files started to fail because of not ASCII characters (the
standard Syntax Error of PEP-0263, I'm using Py2.5),  like...

  # Author: David Goodger
  # Contact: goodger at users.sourceforge.net
  # Revision: $Revision: 4152 $
  # Date: $Date: 2005-12-07 20:46:30 -0300 (mié, 07 dic 2005) $
  # Copyright: This module has been placed in the public domain.


...(see the date) in the "./docutils/utils.py" program.

A *lot* of files failed this way. I started to fix them (-*- coding
-*- line at the start), but then I thought that maybe *I* was doing
something wrong, because it's strange that nobody noticed this
before...

So, shall I continue fixing these? Or what I'm doing wrong here?

Thank you very much!
