No. We are talking about byte strings here, not unicode strings. I don't want
this to print anything but what the user's locale gives you.
If, on the other hand, you write
def usage():
printf(u"Usage: Å\n")
under Py2, or
def usage():
printf("Usage: Å\n")
under Py3 semantics, you should get a compiler error that you can't convert a
unicode string to a char*.
