When I execute the three lisp form that were mentioned in the page I pointed you to*, my XEmacs does recognize utf-8 encoding automatically. I just find-file a file which contains UTF-8 encoded data and I see all sorts of accented characters (the ones I expect to see even!). [...] (set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8)) (set-coding-category-system 'utf-8 'utf-8)

That's a slightly different issue: the question is whether it will recognize the coding of test_pep277.py even without specifying a coding priority list.

Setting the priority list to utf-8 is a good thing as long is it does not exist to save all new files in UTF-8, then.
