[issue5556] interactive interpreter, source encoding

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Additional note: RefMan 2. Lexical analysis:
"Python reads program text as Unicode code points;"

Doc for runsource says "Compile and run some source in the interpreter. Arguments are the same as for compile_command()". Latter says "sourse is the source string".
