I may be wrong, but I am not aware that Python is able to read encoding declarations in a non-ASCII compatible encoding :-) Also, given the shebang line is for use by the OS, the appropriate encoding should be decided by the OS, not Python conventions. But I would surprised if a shebang-compatible used a non-ASCII encoding by default.
