I'm trying to write a python script under z/OS, using IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Python 3.13.

I wrote the code under TSO OMVS and I got the following error trying to execute the code:

SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with 'çx97' in file /u/u0n6758/prova5.py on line 1, but no encoding declared; see peps.python.org/pep-0263/ for details

In the text there some # and {}.

If I change the # in £ and delete the {} the code is working. The problem is that I need the {} (I have to deal with json).

I would not like to change all the special character on my script (the script was written on a Linux machine and there is working properly - I need to have it on USS now).

I've tried to put in the second line the enconding statement, using both IBM1047 than UTF-8 ma it didn't work. I'm not sure about the encoding statement syntax on z/OS. I've used £-- coding: IBM1047 --

Can anybody help me please? thanks Fabiana Can anyone please me help me? where can I find documentation about syntax python under z/OS?

Thanks everybody, have a nice day, Fabiana

  • The error reported relates to the Python script (prova5.py). You may need to provide an (en)coding hint as described here. Commented Jun 19 at 10:38

    maybe show what you have in file instead of describing it. Commented Jun 19 at 12:10
  • The error is the one in the bold characters, it's all the error. Commented Jun 19 at 13:51
  • The script is very very simple, I'm just checking how to run python programs for the moment. It's # programma di prova a={'key': 'prova'} print('a=' + str(a)) Commented Jun 19 at 13:54
