[Python-Dev] PyArg_ParseTuple and unicode

[Jack Jansen]

I had expected the PyArg_ParseTuple() "u" specifier to automatically convert 
string objects to unicode strings with the default encoding (just as the 
reverse is true for "s"), but to my surprise it doesn't.

Is there a deep reason for this, or am I the first person to want this 
functionality? Or do I miss something and should I use a different format 
specifier?
