How To Specify Source Code Encoding In a Python Source File

To specify the source code encoding in a Python source file, you can use a special comment at the beginning of the file:

# -*- coding: encoding-name -*-
Replace encoding-name with the name of the encoding you are using, such as utf-8 or iso-8859-1.

For example, if you are using UTF-8 encoding, you can include the following comment at the beginning of your Python source file:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

This comment should be placed on the first or second line of the file, before any other code or comments. It is used by the Python interpreter to determine the encoding of the source code in the file.
