Hello, just wanted to share something I just experienced.

I have an appengine app running on python and for several notifications in 
spanish I use a messages.py file which is loaded in almost every handler. 
This file gave me no issues given it wasn't containing any specification 
for encoding. It consists in several lines practically identical to the 
following:

user_pass_mismatch = unicode('El usuario y contraseƱa no coinciden. Por 
>> favor intenta de nuevo.','utf-8')
>
>
It gave me no issues while running my app for several months, but lately I 
just added a set of warmup requests and it started giving 500 errors all 
the way because of:

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file messages.py on line 1, but 
> no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for 
> details


Of course, adding the header *# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-* solved the issue, 
but the weird behavior is that non-resident (non warmup) instances caused 
no trouble even they didn't specified the encoding declaration.

Best,

Chuy
