Hmm, tests are passed on some Windows buildbots, but failed on others.

TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The error message is not very informative. Seems like some C API function takes an argument of wrong type (e.g. bytes instead of unicode).
