Hello,
On Windows, I'm trying to read a file that has accents. An hexdump shows that it's encoded in Latin1/ISO-8859-1, not UTF-8.
For some reason, Python still isn't happy:
Thank you.

Edit: Problem solved. I had a comment line in the script that had an accent, and the encoding line only works if it's on the very first line, or Python barfs.

# -*- coding: latin-1 -*- #file1 = open('stops.txt', 'r') #file1 = open('stops.txt', 'r',encoding="ISO-8859-1") file1 = open('stops.txt', 'r',encoding="latin-1") for line in file1.readlines(): #line = line.strip() line.strip() #SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\xf1' in file dummy.py on line 21, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ print(line)Any idea why?
Thank you.
