Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. >Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.3 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: George Yoshida (quiver) >Assigned to: Anthony Baxter (anthonybaxter) Summary: unknown encoding -> MemoryError Initial Comment: If you try to install a program and one of the files declares an unknown encoding(like 'UFT-8'), byte-compiling the file fails and get the message, "Sorry: MemoryError: ()" This message obscures the problem and makes it difficult to spot the problem. In fact, it took me a while to find out that the unknown encoding declaration caused the trouble. The error message needs to be more explicit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2005-10-01 18:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 I fixed this problem in 2.5.
