No, it is not necessary to include an encoding declaration in Python 3. Python 3 uses Unicode as the default encoding, which means that it can handle various character sets and languages without the need for encoding declarations. However, including an encoding declaration can be beneficial in cases where the source code contains non-ASCII characters or when working with files that use a specific encoding.
