After the latest round of commits, vm24 (i686 openSUSE 13.1) went from 2 
failures to ...

Failures: 583 635 662 823 836 880 1038 1062 1068 1069 1070 1071 1072

at least 7 of the additional failures are of the form

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc2' in file /usr/bin/pmrep on line 802, but 
no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

...

$ grep -l Non-ASCII *.out.bad
1038.out.bad
1062.out.bad
1069.out.bad
1070.out.bad
1071.out.bad
1072.out.bad
880.out.bad

I know this is a recurring theme, but over a long time Python seems to 
continually be accounting for more than a fair share of QA failures ... is 
there any real prospect of this situation improving, or should I just stop 
running Python tests and leave that to someone else?
