TASK DESCRIPTION
When running script tests on Python 2.6.5 using Appveyor Windows builds,
every test fails with
```
TypeError: os.environ must contain only str: [('TK_LIBRARY',
u'C:\\Python265-x64\\tcl\\tk8.5'), ('TCL_LIBRARY',
u'C:\\Python265-x64\\tcl\\tcl8.5'), ('TIX_LIBRARY',
u'C:\\Python265-x64\\tcl\\tix8.4.3')]
```
This exception message is provided by:
https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/tests/utils.py#L561
The original exception message is "TypeError: environment can only contain
strings", which comes from the Win32-specific PC/_subprocess.c
https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/99af4b44e7e4/PC/_subprocess.c#l306
That code appears to be identical between Python 2.6.5 and 2.6.6, so my guess
is that Python 2.6.6 changed something else.
Ah, these environment variables are set within Python, and were set as a
unicode, and this was solved in Python 2.6.6. http://bugs.python.org/issue6906
