I'm using mako templates to generate specialized config files. Some of these files contain extended ASCII chars (>127), but mako chokes saying that the chars are out of range when I use:
## -*- coding: ascii -*-
So I'm wondering if perhaps there's something like:
## -*- coding: eascii -*-
That I can use that will be ok with the range(128, 256) chars.
EDIT:
Here's the dump of the offending section of the file:

The first character that mako complains about is 000001b4. If I remove this section, everything works fine. With the section inserted, mako complains:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 19: ordinal not in range(128)
It's the same complaint whether I use 'ascii' or 'latin-1' in the magic comment line.
Thanks!
