Well, I do, that's why I'm asking ;-)

I tried like this :

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
s = "é"
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The error message tells me that the error happens on line 4, hence the
coding line ends up on line 3, and python only takes it into account if
it is one of the first two ... so it almost works, but it doesn't.

That would be fantastic ! (And possibly useful in other cases as well
...)
