I can't see any harm by supporting this operation also if __str__ returns
a Unicode object.
It doesn't sound like a good idea to me, at least in part because it
would be darned messy to implement short of saying "OK, we don't give
a rip anymore about what type of objects PyObject_{Str,Repr} return",
It's about 10 lines of code. See http://python.org/sf/1159501 .
The patch implements the PyObjbect_Text() idea (an API that
returns a basestring instance, ie. string or unicode) and
then uses this in '%s' (the string version) to properly propogate
to u'%s' (the unicode version).
Maybe we should also expose the C API as suggested in the patch,
e.g. as text(obj).
