In #11830 I suggested that Shell should be added to this issue. #26327 does the same, as the prompt and output are not code. At least in 3.x, these mixed code and text files should be encoded utf-8 (which is the same as ascii for all ascii files), as code files are (at least by default). The encoding search and determination in IDBinding.py is a bit baroque. The local encoding should not ever be used for 3.x code. If we do something with #11838 (save runnable code from Shell), the default should then revert to .py. I don't want a patch here to make this excessively difficult.
