just remove https://github.com/eset/ipyida/blob/master/ipyida/ipyida_plugin_stub.py#L1. It works!

# -*- encoding: utf8 -*-
#
# Simple stub to drop in IDA's "plugins" directory.

Can you enlighten me as to which version of IDA or Python doesn't support encoding header?

Answer 2 · 2022-08-03T01:24:24.000Z

Macos IDA 7.5

Answer 3 · 2022-08-03T05:07:11.000Z

Python 3.9.7 (default, Oct 22 2021, 13:39:39)
[Clang 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.3)]
IDAPython v7.4.0 final (serial 0)

I'm also running IDA on macOS (I was running 7.5 when it was the latest version) and Python 3 and never experienced this. Can you provide more details about the error you get? How do you load ipyida_plugin_stub.py? Is it in your plugins directory?

If I remove the encoding header, it will fail with Python 2 because of the non-ascii é in the author's name.
