I don't follow you here. The source code encoding is only applied to Unicode literals (you are using string literals in your example). String literals are passed through as-is.

however, for Python 3000, it would be nice if the source-code encoding applied to the entire file (XML-style), rather than just unicode string literals and (hope- fully) comments and docstrings.
