+   Encodings (PEP 263)
+ 
+     Code in the core Python distribution should aways use the ASCII or
+     Latin-1 encoding (a.k.a. ISO-8859-1).  Files using ASCII should
+     not have a coding cookie.  Latin-1 should only be used when a
+     comment or docstring needs to mention an author name that requires
+     Latin-1; otherwise, using \x escapes is the preferred way to
+     include non-ASCII data in string literals.  An exception is made
+     for those files that are part of the test suite for the code
+     implementing PEP 263.
