Pycharm: byte literal contains characters> 255

Question

I found this check in Pycharm: " byte literal contains characters > 255 ". I tried to do this but found nothing.

What does it mean? Why not use these characters?

Answer 1

You are using a character that goes beyond the usual range of ASCII ordinals 0 → 255.

Put the following 2 lines at the top of your python files:

 #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 

and the error should disappear.

If not, send them an email or go to the forums .
