Indeed. It typically means that something is using
PyObject_AsCharBuffer() instead of PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize(). Please
fix occurrences you find and upload patches.

It seems that any use of the 't#' format for PyArg_ParseTuple() also
triggers this error. I don't understand the code for that format; I've
been successful in the short term by changing these to 's#' but I
don't think that's the correct solution...
