Description Alexander Darovsky 2004-07-22 12:33:08 UTC 
Version:           3.0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

There is a de-facto standard way to set up an
encoding in the file, for example:

// coding: utf-8

where '//' is a line comment character(s), in Python it is 

# coding: utf-8.

It should be in the first two lines of a file.

Some editors (I know emacs and Eric3 Python IDE) use this feature.
It would be nice to make KDevelop (or KWritePart) to make use of this feature too.

Regards, Alex Darovsky
