added encoding "# coding: utf-8" to the headers of scripts that python would not run with execfile('....'), python would also riase the error, though there is no practicle use

The error looked like this.
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe4' in file ./3ds_export.py on line 10, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
