Even better, the source code encoding declaration for Python is compatible with a Vim text encoding declaration. So you can just do one: ===== #! /usr/bin/env python # vim: set fileencoding=utf-8 noexpandtab tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 softtabstop=-1 : ===== See <URL:https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/#defining-the-encoding> for a discussion of how Python expects to find the source code encoding declaration. > although I prefer: > > # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- Yes. Jamming all the editor hints at the top of the file is IMO needlessly distracting; both Vim and Emacs will look for them at the end of the file, where they're less intrusive. I prefer to have Python's source code encoding delcaration at the top of the file, and have a block of editor hints at the end of the file. -- \ “I know you believe you understood what you think I said, but I | `\ am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I | _o__) meant.” —Robert J.
