that's a Python question now :) Python needs to know in which encoding the file it runs is, and this defaults to ASCII. UTF-8 is compatible with ASCII, but only for the characters that are part of ASCII -- obviously. So, if you use any non-ASCII characters (i.e. accented letters), you'll have to [tell Python your file is encoded in UTF-8](https://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html#unicode-literals-in-python-source-code). To do that, add
```python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- ``` just below your shebang line (`#!/...python`), e.g. 2nd line probably. Note that Python3's (current version of Python) default is UTF-8, so if you used it instead of Python2 it'd work without out of the box ;) --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
