[Python-3000] Need help fixing failing Py3k Unittests in py3k-struni

[Guido van Rossum]

Yeah, I'm looking in to this right now. What a mess! But I'm close to a fix.

There's more that causes test_descr to fail however. Bleh, what a
terrible unit test -- it doesn't use the unittest module, and a single
failure aborts the rest of the test.
