Just for fun, I tried using my tiny understanding of C to write a patch. I am attaching my current result, which passes the test suite except for test_unittest:

FAIL: test_loadTestsFromName__unknown_module_name (unittest.test.test_loader.Test_TestLoader)

Traceback (most recent call last):

    loader.loadTestsFromName('sdasfasfasdf')
ImportError: No module named 0I�


During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

test_imp{,ort,ortlib} pass, though.  Maybe someone will take my patch and fix the PyObject_Repr call and error checking.  It was a fun bit of experimenting with help from kind people on IRC :)
