file encoding issues with eclipse pydev

Question

I have been building a calculator with a GUI in python and finished, and I went back to update stuff and simplify the coding and know I am running into text encoding issues. I had them fixed and had everything set to UTF-16 and it was working just fine. I cam back now and I am getting this error:

File "D:\Documents\Scripts\Python\Calculator\Calculator\CalculatorGUI.pyw", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\xfe' in file D:\Documents\Scripts\Python\Calculator\Calculator\CalculatorGUI.pyw on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

Now \xfe is now where in my code, and it was working before. So I don't know what could have changed. If you need to see the whole script, comment, and I will post it all.

Thanks

probably upload the script somewhere ... dont copy and paste or we might not see the same bytes — Joran Beasley

@shavenwarthog I already declared the encoding type and I am still getting the same problem — BlendingJake

did you open it with something other than eclipse at some point? it seems to have a funny encoding for sure ... — Joran Beasley

you probably need to convert the file to utf8 (notepad++ can do this easily ..., that seemed to work for me)
