That's Python issue, not Eric's one. Try running your test script from
shell, you'll see the same error.
I don't think there's any way of "fixing" this. I use Eric template for #
-*- encoding
Hi all - I am running Eric 4.3.3 (r3080) and have found a problem with
encoding. When I try the following example (to print a British pound
sign) I get the following error dialog:
The file /home/ed/source/erictest/tcode.py contains
the syntax error
Non-Ascii character '\xc2' in file
/home/ed/source/erictest/tcode.py
on line 1, but no encoding declared; see
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html
for details at line 1, character 0.
Here is the offending code:
a="£"
print a
I find that inserting a "#coding: utf-8" at the top fixes this. I have
looked at eric4.py and it seems to set the string encoding to utf-8 in
it's setup but maybe looses this setting somewhere ?
I quite often have pound signs in my code and are constantly forgetting
to set the coding setting. Is there a setting somewhere to fix this ?
Forgive me if this is something obvious !
Kind Regards,
BgEddy
