Using #-*- coding: utf-8 -*- does not remove “Non-ASCII character '\x90' in file hello.exe on line 1, but no encoding declared” error

Question

I\'m trying to convert a python file into an executable. So far so good. But when I try to run the executable I get the following error message:

SyntaxError:         


        

Answer 1

As someone else mentioned, you are running "python hello.exe" or "py hello.exe". So you are trying to run an executable with python.. Try just running the executable without python.

You simply need to run "hello.exe".
