[cjl]

The potgenerator corn job is detecting some sort fo effor at line 205 of /IPython/core/inputsplitter.py

Please specify the source encoding through --from-code.

Can someone from the Activity Team look at this bug please?

[walter]

adding
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
to the top of the file should be enough to inform potgenerator of everything it needs.

[walter]

Just to be clear, I meant, adding to the top of IPython_core_inputsplitter.py

[cjl]

Ok, waiting for merge request to be accepted by maintainer of PyDebug.

Now we are seeing a similar (but different) error.

xgettext: Non-ASCII string at IPython/external/configobj.py:40.

Please specify the source encoding through --from-code.

ERROR - xgettext failed with return code 1.

Georgem would you consider making the addition to IPython/external/configobj.py ?

I'm going to open this up as a GCI task and request a patch submitted here.
