STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment:

FYI, you should use ascii() instead of a.encode(\"utf8\") to dump arguments. 
It's easier to check '\u2603' than b'\xe2\x98\x83' for me :-)

So the bug is fixed in Python 3.2, great! I was thinking that we need a test 
for that, but then I remembered that I already wrote such test :-) My test 
checks 3 unicode characters: \xe9, \u20ac, \U0010ffff; but also invalid byte 
sequences:

text = (
  b'\xff'         # invalid byte
  b'\xc3\xa9'     # valid utf-8 character
  b'\xc3\xff'     # invalid byte sequence
  b'\xed\xa0\x80' # lone surrogate character (invalid)
)

And it should be enough :-) See test_osx_utf8() of test_cmd_line to see the 
whole test.
