Not Python 3:

Python 3.3.2+ (default, Feb 28 2014, 00:52:16) 
[GCC 4.8.1] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> (fine, fine) = (1,2)
>>> (fine, fine)
(2, 2)

No copy-and-paste errors involved:

>>> eval("\ufb01ne")
2
>>> eval(b"fine".decode("ascii"))
2
