I thought that that was the specification: the encoding comment should be the first line unless it has to be the second line to allow for an executable comment. Executing a non-comment first line twice is definitely contrary to the intent of the PEP. I have not read it recently ;-). When running that snippet from 3.3.2 Idle editor, 'first' is only printed once. I consider this to be correct and I would not want to change Idle to match the buggy behavior.
