Python/ASP local characters and 500 server error

[Martin]

Using Python / ASP on a IIS server with Mark Hammond's win32 extensions,
i have the following problem.

All occurences of local characters (fx. danish æøå) in comments or in
strings result in a HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error.

Is there a solution to this problem?

the first thing to do when you get a server error is to look in the server logs
to see what the real error is.

in this case, chances are that you'll see a warning message from the Python
interpreter that points to you this page:

(scroll down to "Examples" to see the solution)

Using the info from pep-0263, adding a line in the start for the file:

# -*- coding: <charcode> -*-

works for .py files, but the error i get is from an .asp file.

The logfile contains this info:

ASP_0147|500_Server_Error 500

A solution is to move ALL code from the .asp page to a .py file and
import it on the .asp page.

But there must be another solution?
