[issue1258] Removal of basestring type

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

Here is an updated patch which applies cleanly and fixes some additional
unit tests and removes one that doesn't make sense any more (re.compile
doesn't accept bytes).

The unit tests profile, cProfile and doctest fail w/ and w/o this patch.
They seem to suffer from the latest changes of our previous patch and
additional calls to utf_8_decode().
