Hmm... Perhaps, you are right. I remember quite well seeing UnicodeDecodeError in eric, but now I couldn't reproduce it. Still it would be good if eric could automatically add the BOM mark to files containing non-ASCII characters (for UTF-8). That way the deprecation warning about PEP 263 would be avoided. There is a bigger problem though: it is difficult (if possible) to install it under Windows. Thanks, Kirill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
