Ammar Askar added the comment: This is because the "coding:" in a comment is a special syntax used to define the encoding of the file. The only documentation I could find for it on the official docs is a brief mention here: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/unicode.html#the-string-type
More details can be found on the PEP for it: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ The SyntaxError itself is not a bug, though I think the documentation for this feature is certainly a little sparse. ---------- nosy: +ammar2 resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29226> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
