[New-bugs-announce] [issue1263] PEP 3137 patch - str8/str comparison should return false

[Thomas Lee]

New submission from Thomas Lee:

The main patch - while exactly what is needed to make str8/str equality
checks return False - breaks a bunch of tests due to PyString_* still
being used elsewhere when it should be using PyUnicode.

The second patch modifies structmember.c to use PyUnicode_* where it was
previously using PyString_*, which fixes the first problem I stumbled
across in trying to get test_unicode to run.

Unfortunately, similar errors are present in Python/codecs.c and other
places (maybe Python/modsupport.c too? not 100% sure yet) - these still
need to be fixed!
