Python 3.6.10 fails when running a localized script. - Mikee - Jul-09-2020
Hello,
Thanks for having me here. I am a new to python.
I am stuck with something which i think most of you might already know.
I have a py script that contains some Japanese (localized) strings. When i run this script in Python.exe version 3.6.10 it throws an error like:
'SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\xe5' in file (..) but no encoding declared'
Can anyone let me know how to resolve it!
Thanks a ton.

If the program is not encoded in UTF-8, you could add en encoding line as the first or the second line of the program, such as
# -*- coding: <encoding name> -*-For a list of encoding names, you could list the content of the
encodings directory in the python library. I don't know japanese at all but for example iso2022-jp-1 looks like a candidate for <encoding name>
