Doesn't really matter, in fact ... Whenever a python file contains a
non-ascii character (utf-8 or latin-1) it insists on finding an
indication of the encoding within the file. If latin-1, it finds \xe9,
if utf-8, it finds \xc3, but in both cases it raises this:

# SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe9' in file /Users/vincent/toto.py
# on line 1, but no encoding declared; see
# http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

That's even if the character in question lies within a string. That
makes a lot of sense in terms of portability, but it makes on-the-fly
evaluation a bit more complicated.

No, I want everything in utf-8, there is no converting to do anywhere,
just telling python that it is utf-8.

Hmm, didn't know about :shebang, but it seems to be ignored (at least
for python) because this works without a syntax error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src python :shebang sldfkj
return 1
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Anyway, :prefix cannot hurt I guess ...
