I have already written such a patch some months ago, you can find it here: http://bugs.python.org/issue1943 You will perhaps need to adapt the patch a bit in order for it to work properly with the current py3k branch. Also note that Marc-André Lemburg (one of the authors of the unicode implementation) is opposed to that change. See the discussion in the bug tracker issue for the details.
