[issue19099] struct.pack fails first time with unicode fmt

[Vajrasky Kok]

Vajrasky Kok added the comment:

Here's the preliminary patch. I am assuming that we should accept unicode argument not reject it straight away.

Python3 does that.
>>> import struct
>>> struct.pack('b', 3)
b'\x03'
>>> struct.pack(b'b', 3)
b'\x03'
>>> struct.pack(b'\xff', 3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
struct.error: bad char in struct format
