[issue6988] shlex.split() converts unicode input to UCS-4 output

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

$ ./python 
Python 2.7.2+ (2.7:27ae7d4e1983+, Oct 23 2011, 00:09:06) 
[GCC 4.6.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import shlex
>>> shlex.split(u'Hello, World!')
['Hello,', 'World!']

This was fixed indirectly by a StringIO fix in 27ae7d4e1983, for #1548891.
