Re: [Orgmode] Re: Babel, Python and UTF-8

[Eric Schulte]

Hi,

I've just pushed up a new prefix header argument.  This header argument
only has meaning for python code blocks (since it is tied into
evaluation each language would have to handle it separately).  This is
only used during external evaluation (i.e. not when :session is
specified) and the value of the :prefix argument is prepended to the
temporary file evaluated by python.

The following demonstrate its usage:

** Python requires a utf-8 coding prefix
#+begin_src python :prefix # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- :return s
s = "é"
#+end_src

#+results:
: é

#+begin_src python :prefix # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- :results output
s = "é"
print(s)
#+end_src

#+results:
: é

Best -- Eric
