@loewis: Ok, I didn't know. I think that it's better to reuse existing code. I also compared the implementations of encoding detection, and the code looks the same in IDLE and tokenize, but I prefer tokenize. tokenize.detect_encoding() has longer documentation, return the line (decoded as Unicode) matching the encoding cookie, and look to be more robust. I saw an interesting test in IDLE code: it checks the charset. So I wrote a patch raising a SyntaxError for tokenize: issue4021.
