[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[David Beazley]

New submission from David Beazley <dave at dabeaz.com>:

Is the struct.pack() function supposed to automatically encode Unicode strings into binary?  For example:

>>> struct.pack("10s","Jalape\u00f1o")
b'Jalape\xc3\xb1o\x00'
>>>

This is Python 3.2b1.
