Okay, here's another patch: http://bugs.python.org/issue1263
Using unicode-string-eq-false-r3.patch, str8/str comparison will now return False instead of attempting to convert. Unfortunately this breaks about 30 tests. In attempting to fix test_unicode (the obvious starting point for all this), I made changes to Python/structmember.c to use PyUnicode instead of PyString - this fixed some of the issues in test_unicode, but there would appear to be other, similar problems elsewhere. I'm not going to have the time to get this done by Friday, but I may be able to work more on this over the weekend. I'd love some feedback on my changes to structmember.c so I know if I'm going about it the right way (my knowledge of the PyUnicode API and unicode in general is pretty limited). I put the structmember.c patch in a separate file for now - unicode-string-eq-false-structmember-c-r1.patch Until then, if anybody wants to help out with getting those tests running that would be great too. Otherwise, I should have made some sort of measurable progress by Monday.
