First you need to know whether your editor is saving the file using UTF-8 or
ISO-8859-7. What editor are you using?


Set your editor to use UTF-8. That is the best option.

In your script, put:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


as the **very first or second** line of the script. It must be at the
beginning.
