New submission from Julian Berman <Julian+PyPy at GrayVines.com>:
Python 2.7.3 (5acfe049a5b0, May 21 2013, 13:47:22)

Getting the following traceback with a curses app (bpython):

TypeError: initializer for ctype 'char *' must be a str or list or tuple, not
unicode
Don't have time to investigate further at this exact moment, so apologies, but the
quickest way to reproduce is:
$ mktmpenv --python=pypy
$ pip install bpython flask
$ bpython
>>> import flask
>>> flask.Flask
and then hit (, which will trigger bpython's tooltip for docstrings and along with
it that traceback.
If I get some time to dig I'll update with more details, though I bet this means
enough to let you guys know what's up already if you're familiar with the curses
integration code.
