What surprises me a bit:

file *
constants.py:                    Python script, UTF-8 Unicode text executable
high_pass_filter.py:             Python script, ASCII text executable
i.fusion.hpf.html:               HTML document, ASCII text
i_fusion_hpf_lsat7_hpf_rgb.png:  PNG image data, 1327 x 840,
8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
i_fusion_hpf_lsat7_orig_rgb.png: PNG image data, 1327 x 840,
8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
i.fusion.hpf.py:                 Python script, ASCII text executable
licenses:                        directory
Makefile:                        ASCII text
README.md:                       UTF-8 Unicode text
test_high_pass_filter.py:        Python script, ASCII text executable

--> some .py files are UTF-8, some are not.... shall this be streamlined?
