[issue8774] 0xe7 in ``heapq.__about__`` causes badness

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

PEP 8, section “encodings”, tells that stdlib source code in 3.x should always use ASCII or UTF-8, without encoding magic comment (since UTF-8 is the default now and ASCII is a subset of UTF-8); it explicitly mentions author names in comments or docstrings as the use case for UTF-8 bytes instead of escapes.

tl;dr: Don’t mangle people’s names, fix tabnanny.
