Question

Django

I run the command: django-admin.py makemessages
Error:

          Please specify the source encoding through --from-code or through a comment
          as specified in http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html.

I tried to specify in one file at the beginning of the file: # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
How can this be fixed?
