PEP 263 states that in Phase 2 the default encoding will be set to ASCII. Although the PEP is marked final, this isn't actually implemented. The warning about using non-ASCII characters started in 2.3. Does anyone think we shouldn't enforce the default being ASCII?

This means if an # -- coding: ... -- is not set and non-ASCII characters are used, an error will be generated.

+1.
