   At the start of writing the mail, I just thought there should be a codec
that failed conversions, by the end of the mail I'd found "undefined", and
after sending found the site.py switch.

   When following unexpected conversion failure discussions on c.l.py, I
can't recall this being mentioned as a debugging tool. Turning it on found
several uninteresting ASCII literal promotion 'problems' in a small working
application so the technique could be too noisy for some users.
