IDLE : Saving script problems

[v.wehren]

Are you using any french characters (cedilla, accents) and so on in your
comments? Be aware that your build propably defaults to ASCII as encoding
for your code!

The trick used to be adapting your "site.py" in the pythin22\lib directory.
Find "encoding" (ca. line 288). Try changing "ASCII" to "CP1252".

It's possible that this method is depracated, but it worked fine for me...
