Well I am not much experienced but this file is not real utf8. It is 
encoded in ascii, cp1250, cp1252, and many other but not in utf8. utf8 
has a special flag, special bytes inside  - as a special mark for 
editors. That is what this file doesnt have. Even after making change in 
it in IDLE, it does not became real utf8. I always check it in another 
editor, that can work with encoding very well - PSPad.
