Alas, the coding directive is not good enough. Have a look at this:

http://zesty.ca/python/tricky.png That's an image of a text editor containing some Python code. Can you tell whether running it (post-PEP-3131) will delete your .bashrc file? I would think that it doesn't (i.e. allowed should stay at 0). Why does os.remove get invoked?

Perhaps a letter in the encoding declaration is non-ascii, nullifying
the encoding enforcement and allowing a cyrillic 'a' in allowed = 0?
