New submission from Jorgen Schäfer:
The ast module seems to get confused for certain strings which contain coding
declarations.
>>> import ast
>>> s = u'"""\\\n# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-\n"""'
>>> print s
"""\
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
>>> ast.literal_eval(s)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/forcer/Programs/Python/python2.7/lib/python2.7/ast.py", line 49,
in literal_eval
node_or_string = parse(node_or_string, mode='eval')
File "/home/forcer/Programs/Python/python2.7/lib/python2.7/ast.py", line 37,
in parse
return compile(source, filename, mode, PyCF_ONLY_AST)
File "<unknown>", line 0
SyntaxError: encoding declaration in Unicode string
