I'm asking as I've just spent 30 minutes tracking down why my debug code
would bomb when running on 3.5, but not 2.7 or 3.2 through 3.4.
I'm curious as to why this character should bomb your code at all -
it's in a comment. Is it that your program was expecting ASCII, or is
it something about that particular character?
Here's a quick listing of the CPython standard library files that aren't ASCII:
Last I knew, Guido still wanted stdlib files to be all-ascii, especially
possibly in special cases. There is no good reason I can think of for
there to be an invisible non-ascii space in a comment. It strikes me as
most likely an accident (typo) that should be fixed. I suspect the same
of most of the following. Perhaps you should file an issue (and patch?)
on the tracker.

Does your program bomb on any of these?
