    Defining the Encoding
    Python will default to ASCII as standard encoding if no other
    encoding hints are given.

    To define a source code encoding, a magic comment must
    be placed into the source files either as first or second
    line in the file, such as:

    # coding=<encoding name>

    or (using formats recognized by popular editors)

    #!/usr/bin/python
    # -*- coding: <encoding name> -*-

    or

    #!/usr/bin/python
    # vim: set fileencoding=<encoding name> :
