To circumvent the bug cp1252

[Do Re Mi chel La Si Do]

Hi !


*** for information ***


There is a bug in Python 2.4, worsened with the 2.4.1, for scripts, if they 
are:
  - large
  - with larges lines
  - prefixed (coded) with   # -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
  - on windows (XP & S2003)
  - perhaps, also, other conditions...

This bug announces, wrongly, of the non-existent errors of syntax, blocks 
the generation of the programmable interface of the servers-COM, with Pywin, 
etc.

But I found a means of circumventing the problem:  it is enough to encoder 
scripts in utf-8, and to prefix them with   # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
(with that, all the problems disappear)

And, I can, finally, use version 2.4.1    -   Yeah !
