Summary: Format operator % fails with unicode

Initial Comment:
A dictionary with unicode keys raise an error when it 
is applied to a string throught the format operator %.

Here is the ofending code:

>>> "%(año)d" % { u"año":2001 }  # KeyError: año

This fails because u"año" and "año" cannot be 
compared: byte strings and Unicode strings are 
comparable only if the byte string is ASCII.

> >>> u"%(año)4d" % { u"año":2001 }  # KeyError: año

This fails because the key is converted to UTF-8 
before lookup.


Must be add the unicode case into the format operator %
