Okay, here's another patch:
http://bugs.python.org/issue1263
Using unicode-string-eq-false-r3.patch, str8/str comparison will now
return False instead of attempting to convert. Unfortunately this breaks
about 30 tests. In attempting to fix test_unicode (the obvious starting
point for all this), I made changes to Python/structmember.c to use
PyUnicode instead of PyString - this fixed some of the issues in
test_unicode, but there would appear to be other, similar problems
elsewhere.
I'm not going to have the time to get this done by Friday, but I may be
able to work more on this over the weekend. I'd love some feedback on my
changes to structmember.c so I know if I'm going about it the right way
(my knowledge of the PyUnicode API and unicode in general is pretty
limited). I put the structmember.c patch in a separate file for now -
unicode-string-eq-false-structmember-c-r1.patch
Until then, if anybody wants to help out with getting those tests
running that would be great too. Otherwise, I should have made some sort
of measurable progress by Monday.
Cheers,
Tom
