Oh never heard of the # codec declaration

relies on https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ it seems (this is from 2001, maybe there's more recent)




I envy you py3 kids...

encoding is a huge problem in py2


> encoding is a huge problem in py2°

Yes...exactly! Good thing that it's dead now, every meaningful library has either been updated or replaced and nobody is using it anymore, right? Like Windows 7! /s

Seriously tho, what's keeping you from updating? Genuinely curious at this point...

My boss doesn't pay the upgrade bills. Only adding new features are billed. Sad.

And there are thousands of real-time users on the system and their task can not be interrupted, also if there is any py2 and py3 mismatch, the outcomes would be quite costy.
