No, instead it says:


-------- snip ---------
# python2.5 -c 'import docutils.writers.latex2e'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/docutils/writers/latex2e/__init__.py", line 1
SyntaxError: encoding problem: with BOM
-------- snip ---------
