Anything like 'inspect.getsourceencoding()'?

[Jeff Epler]

Here's my implementation of getsourceencoding:
    def getsourceencoding(object):
        f = open(inspect.getabsfile(object), "r")
        for i in range(2):
            line = f.readline()
            m = re.search("coding[:=]\s*([-\w.]+)", line)
            if m:
                return m.group(1)
        return "ascii"
Based on MvL's followup, I don't know where (if anywhere) this should be
included in the standard library.
