This is easy to answer: UTF-8 with the:

     # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

comment to tell Python that your script file is encoded in UTF-8.

I was once given a file in a language I don't know (translations for
display messages). Some of the text didn't look quite right. It took me
a while to figure out that it was written on a machine which used CP1250
and my machine used CP1252. If everybody used the same encoding then
such problems wouldn't occur, and UTF-8 can handle any characters which
are in Unicode: Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, etc.
