interesting dict bug

[Jeff McNeil]

Filename is a unicode string. See
http://www.diveintopython.org/xml_processing/unicode.html or
http://docs.python.org/tut/node5.html#SECTION005130000000000000000.

Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> s = "string"
>>> unicode(s)
u'string'
>>>

You're not seeing the 'u' in the 'print filename' line as it isn't
actually part of the data.  You will see it in the 'print params2'
output, though, as I believe it relies on the string object's __repr__
function, which will include the unicode specifier.
