I have a fix for this I'll commit momentarily. The backend_driver
inserts non-comment lines before the -*- coding line.
As for Unicode literals in Python source, there is a third option, other
than u'\xd7' or '×'. Python will let you do u"\N{MULTIPLICATION SIGN}",
which means you don't have to remember what \xd7 is. For single
characters like this, I don't see much advantage (you can just name the
variable something obvious), but for longer strings with embedded
unicode characters (like docstrings), this might be something to consider.
Cheers,
Mike
