error occurs when .py declared ' utf-8 ' but sys.stdin.encoding == GBK

[umialpha]

I am writing .py on windows platform, and all the .py are declared with 'utf-8' format where sys.stdin.encoding == 'GBK'.
when exec(f.read()) , trace occurs as follows:
SyntaxError: encoding declaration in Unicode string

Hi @roylee1314 ,

i think you have to possibilities:

• change sys.stdin.encoding to utf-8
• change this line

  pypreprocessor/pypreprocessor/__init__.py

  Line 28 in 5e8400a

  self.readEncoding = sys.stdin.encoding

  to self.readEncoding = 'utf-8'

Edit: The second option is also stated in the Readme.md

@evanplaice @Epikem should this error be catched/handled by pypreprocessor?

[hendiol]

As I saw no the self.readEnconding is mentioned in the ReadMe.md so its an option.

More generall should we think about an config file?

Is this package caused the error? Maybe below is similar problem :
