[issue9161] add_option in optparse no longer accepts unicode string

[Craig McQueen]

Craig McQueen <python at craig.mcqueen.id.au> added the comment:

My program currently uses ASCII options, so I can change the Unicode string parameter to byte string. The optparse module still seems to match the option against the incoming Unicode argv, I guess by implicit string conversion.
