How come you're always faster on this than I am with
my patches ;-)

The above is already fixed in my local version (together with
some other minor stuff I found in the codec error handling) with
the next patch set.

It will then again produce this output:

>>> None in "abc"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: string member test needs char left operand

BTW, my little "don't use tabs use spaces" in C code extravaganza
was a complete nightmare... diff just doesn't like it and the
Python source code is full of places where tabs and spaces
are mixed in many different ways... I'm back to tabs-indent-mode
again :-/
