This declaration must match the encoding _effectively_ used to save your .py file - else it won't work correctly (even if it seems to). Hint : if you don't want to have encoding problems, enforce the use of utf-8 on the *whole* production chain (source files encoding _and_ declaration, html files idem, webserver, database, etc).
