[Tutor] encoding question

[Danny Yoo]

You were asking earlier about the line:

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

See PEP 263:

    http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/
    http://docs.python.org/release/2.3/whatsnew/section-encodings.html

It's a line that tells Python how to interpret the bytes of your
source program.  It allows us to write unicode literal strings
embedded directly in the program source itself.
