Enter the command line interpreter and try to asign a string value that contains the following: coding: 8bit. You get the error message that the encoding 8bit is unknown. This does not happen in CPython. This is it what you see on Jython: Jython 2.5.1 (Release_2_5_1:6813, Sep 26 2009, 13:47:54) [Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (Sun Microsystems Inc.)] on java1.6.0_17 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or license for more information. >>> line = '"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit"' File "<stdin>", line 1 SyntaxError: Unknown encoding: 8bit
