I don't know if this fits your definition of "ugly workaround", but what
if datetime.__format__ did something like:
def __format__(self, spec):
encoding = None
if isinstance(spec, unicode):
encoding = 'utf-8'
spec = spec.encode(encoding)
result = strftime(spec, self)
if encoding is not None:
result = result.decode(encoding)
return result
Cheers,
Nick.
