coding: cp1252, coding: windows-1252 stop working

[gintare]

OS: windows
Python 3.3.5

I am using characters like 'öÖäÄåÅąĄčČęĘėĖįĮšŠųŲūŪžŽ' in my scripts and adding the script file the first line

# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-

Currently i start getting the error: "Invalid encoding cp1252" when i try to save the file.
And error "encoding problem: windows1252 with BOM" when i try to run the file.


I also have tried other encodings like:
cp-1252
windows-1252
windows1252

What i can do. How to use characters 'öÖäÄåÅąĄčČęĘėĖįĮšŠųŲūŪžŽ' in my script?

Hi! I'm not sure, but this might help: try changing your line of code to

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Also, try changing the file encoding to UTF-8.

A simple search came up with Mapping Windows CP1252 Gremlins to Unicode so it is almost certain that there are additional sites from people who have already solved this problem. Pick the one you like best as there is no point in reinventing the wheel here.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
