New submission from Martijn Pieters <m...@python.org>: Issue #29381 updated the tutorial to clarify #! use, but the 2.7 patch re-used Python 3 material that doesn't apply. See r40ba60f6 at https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/40ba60f6bf2f7192f86da395c71348d0fa24da09
It now reads: "By default, Python source files are treated as encoded in UTF-8." and " To display all these characters properly, your editor must recognize that the file is UTF-8, and it must use a font that supports all the characters in the file." This is a huge deviation from the previous text, and confusing and wrong to people new to Python 2. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 312986 nosy: docs@python, mjpieters priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python 2.7 tutorial claims source code is UTF-8 encoded versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32963> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
