As a str does not preserve information about the encoding, the
# -*- coding: XXX -*-
comment does not help here. It does however control the decoding of unicode
strings. I suppose using unicode for non-ascii literals plus the above
coding comment is as close as you can get to the desired effect.
With some more work you could probably automate string conversion like it is
done with quixote's htmltext. Not sure if that would be worth the effort,
though.
