[Python-Dev] fixing broken build

[Neal Norwitz]

Christian,

Please fix the build on the various buildbots that are failing or
revert your changes for unicode literals.  The build failures started
to occur at r61953.  There were several more (~5) follow up checkins.

You can find all the failures here:  http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/

There seem to be at least two variations for how setup.py is failing.
See below.
