SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character in file '<script>', but no encoding declared

Hi,
When I execute a python script with CS-Studio 3.2.x version, I need to add # -- coding utf-8 -- at the beginning to avoid the error SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character in file "script", but no encoding declared.
In the other way with a CS-Studio 3.1.x version the line # -- coding utf-8 -- generate this error : "org.python.antlr.ParseException: encoding declaration in Unicode string"

Is that the versions of Jython are different between CS-Studio 3.1.x and 3.2.x ?
Thanks

Around March 2012, we started to use on jython (in org.python plugin) for both BOY and the Scan server. Before, BOY used to include its own copy that couldn't be used by other CSS plugins.
Could be that changes in the exact jython version explain what you see.
Still, now being able to specify the coding sounds better than not being allowed to specify it.
Depending on your locale settings, maybe you'll always need to include the encoding?

Hi Kay,
The plugin org.python exist in both versions of CSS (3.1.x and 3.2.x). Now, we know we need to use the encoding for CSS 3.2.x and not for CSS 3.1.x.
Thanks.
