... but some of them are also worried about raising the bar teaching Python to newbies. They don't want to start the Python course explaining advanced features like source code encodings. =20 They don't have to. All they have to do is to arrange IDLE so that it always stores files as UTF-8 with BOM, and then everything will work out just fine, with no need of teaching.
