[issue22005] datetime.__setstate__ fails decoding python2 pickle

[Edward Oubrayrie]

New submission from Edward Oubrayrie:

pickle.loads raises a TypeError when calling the datetime constructor, (then a UnicodeEncodeError in the load_reduce function).

A short test program & the log, including dis output of both PY2 and PY3 pickles, are available in this gist; and extract on stackoverflow:

I am using pickle.dumps(reply, protocol=2) in PY2 
then pickle._loads(pickled, fix_imports=True, encoding='latin1') in PY3
(tried None and utf-8 without success)

Native cPickle loads decoding fails too, I am only using pure python's _loads for debugging.

Sorry if this is misguided (first time here)
Regards,
Edward
