[Tutor] Non-ASCII

[Shawn Matlock]

Hello,

I'm going through an online tutorial for Jython (www.jython.org). I can't find a place to ask a question on that site so I thought I'd try here. I believe the code is supposed to traverse a directory, identifying file types. The script is failing with the following message:

  File "<string>", line None
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character in file 'H:\workspace\test\src\root\nested\example.py', but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

Thank you,
Shawn
