Yes, in Python files we deal with this by setting an encoding. It
might be time to get rid of non-7 bit ASCII characters in the
documentation - I complained about this a while ago in sage-combinat-
devel.

If we cannot set encoding in ReST files I will fix the problem before
3.4.rc0 is out tonight. I made this a 3.4 blocker at #5398.
