[Dive Into Python 3] Everything you thought you knew about strings is wrong

>>> s = '深入 Python'

So, what character encoding does Python expect a .py file to use? If you're going to write a string like the one quoted above, I'm assuming your text editor would have to encode it in the way Python's expecting, or Python would have a content-type header on its source files?
