[issue29226] encoding comment generates a SyntaxError

[Jim Fasarakis-Hilliard]

Jim Fasarakis-Hilliard added the comment:

If you use an encoding declaration the encoding must be recognized by Python. 

This is clearly stated in the documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#encoding-declarations
