Doesn't really matter, in fact ... Whenever a python file contains a non-ascii character (utf-8 or latin-1) it insists on finding an indication of the encoding within the file. If latin-1, it finds \xe9, if utf-8, it finds \xc3, but in both cases it raises this: # SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe9' in file /Users/vincent/toto.py # on line 1, but no encoding declared; see # http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details That's even if the character in question lies within a string. That makes a lot of sense in terms of portability, but it makes on-the-fly evaluation a bit more complicated. > In the second, you want an ISO Latin 1 block of text to be tangled or > executed as UTF-8. Is this right? No, I want everything in utf-8, there is no converting to do anywhere, just telling python that it is utf-8. > Isn't such a prefix already available through the "shebang" option: > can't it be multiline? Anyway, I don't think it's the problem here... Hmm, didn't know about :shebang, but it seems to be ignored (at least for python) because this works without a syntax error: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+begin_src python :shebang sldfkj return 1 #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Anyway, :prefix cannot hurt I guess ... /v _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
