Eric, Stéphane,

maybe we are talking about different things: I was referring to string
literals (and making the suggestion of unicode_literals if we drop
py2.6 to avoid forgetting all the u'')

The actual encoding of the python code doesn't worry me too much, as
is should be relevant mostly only for contributor names in the headers
(and my name doesn't have any accents, even though many add an é to it
:)
