When I try to run a Python script that contains curvy quotes inside comments, the interpreter gets upset:

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x92' in file ... on line 20198, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

Given that the quotes are appearing only in comments, why does the interpreter care about them?  Why should it be doing anything at all with comments other than stripping them off?
