Revision history [back]
 | 1 | initial version |
Since you cited PEP-263, read carefully the regular expression it gives for what the coding line should match:
^[ \t\f]*#.*?coding[:=][ \t]*([-_.a-zA-Z0-9]+)
specifically, the string coding should be immediately followed by a : or =, no whitespace. The encoding name UTF-8 is fine since encoding names are not case-sensitive.
The most common way to write this is:
```
-- coding: utf-8 --

Note: Since this is just a standard Python feature it is not specific to Sage, so you could also likely find answers to your problem on StackOverflow or any other source for Python help.
