   These files are in 8859-1 encoding (names in comments, at least):
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/encodings/punycode.py
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/test/test_csv.py
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Tools/i18n/msgfmt.py
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Tools/i18n/pygettext.py
   If they are not marked as "text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1" I think it's
a bug. Either they should be marked, or converted to ascii or utf-8; the
coding pseudocomment (directive) should be changed accordingly.
   Probably there are other files.
