[pypy-issue] [issue751] Pypy doesn't allow some unicode keyword arguments

[Irmen de Jong]

New submission from Irmen de Jong <irmen at razorvine.net>:

There is a small problem with Pypy and unicode keyword arguments:

>>>> def f(**kwargs):
....     print kwargs
....
>>>> f(**{'foo':42})
{'foo': 42}
>>>> f(**{u'foo':42})
{'foo': 42}
>>>> f(**{u'\u20ac':42})
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: keyword cannot be encoded to ascii


u'foo' works fine, however u'\u20ac' (the Euro-currency sign) fails.

This works fine on CPython 2.6.5 and newer.
