A copy of what I wrote elsewhere. There are two possible reasons in 3.8.4 and 3.9.0b4 - non-ascii characters and files created outside of IDLE. Non-ascii chars was fixed in 3.8.5 and 3.9.0b5. Files created outside of IDLE work in 3.8.6, due in September and 3.9.0rc1, released today. If you do not need 3rd party modules, use the latter. If you do, create new files within IDLE with File=> New. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41537> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
