PEP 263 doesn’t say exactly what encodings are supported. It mentions Shift JIS is supported, but UTF-16 is not. Only UTF-8 is allowed if the file starts with a UTF-8 BOM. I guess many of the Python-specific text encodings from the second section may be supported. Probably any text encoding in general, as long as the first one or two lines can “rougly” be parsed in ASCII.
