Summary: 'python -U' breaks eval/exec

Initial Comment:
Freshly built python:

[mwh21@atrus build]$ PYTHONSTARTUP= ./python -U   
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Python 1.6a2 (#1, Jun 17 2000, 00:21:58)  [GCC 2.95.1 19990816/Linux (release)] on linux2

>>> eval("1")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: eval() argument 1 must be string or code object

(this is also why the import site fails).

exec is also broken.

Message:
eval and exec need to support Unicode objects.
This may be hard, and since -U is mostly experimental, I've given it a low priority.
