For example, to declare that Windows-1252 encoding is to be used, the first
line of your source code file should be::
- # -*- coding: cp-1252 -*-
+ # -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
One exception to the *first line* rule is when the source code starts with a
:ref:`UNIX "shebang" line <tut-scripts>`. In this case, the encoding
declaration should be added as the second line of the file. For example::
#!/usr/bin/env python3
- # -*- coding: cp-1252 -*-
+ # -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
