| Issue #29381 updated the tutorial to clarify #! use, but the 2.7 patch re-used Python 3 material that doesn't apply. See r40ba60f6 at https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/40ba60f6bf2f7192f86da395c71348d0fa24da09 It now reads: "By default, Python source files are treated as encoded in UTF-8." and " To display all these characters properly, your editor must recognize that the file is UTF-8, and it must use a font that supports all the characters in the file." This is a huge deviation from the previous text, and confusing and wrong to people new to Python 2. | ||
