Does that work for Python 2 and Python 3?

No.

I don't know. I am sorry, but what is there the code that
does this:

  binary -> escaped utf-8 string -> unicode -> binary

I know about coding module, but I am not seeing a solution
to crash-proof output from Python. Is inserting a custom codec
class into every piece of code that I want to debug is the only
solution?
