> Since the default source encoding in python2 is latin-1

Mmh, really? According to PEP 263:

    Python will default to ASCII as standard encoding if no other
    encoding hints are given.

And indeed when trying Merlijn's code in a .py file rather than an eval() call, I get:

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file tcc.py on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
