OK. Let's have a real life test of PEP 263.  Could you please send it in
attachment file (as a binary) with a proper encoding indicated by -*-
coding-cookie? (Maybe even to c.l.p - so large audience could confirm encoding
declaration helps read and run your program on Python 2.3 ).

(I hope you do have Python 2.3a to test it on your computer.)
