[issue1284496] traceback module can return undecodable byte strings

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Python 3.0 switched to unicode precisely for this kind of issues.
There, you get
'Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File "<stdin>", line 3, in
<module>\nValueError: Invalid value
b\'\\xff\\xfeh\\x00e\\x00l\\x00l\\x00o\\x00\'\n'

For python 2.x, it's up to the application to decide how it will convert
various tracebacks to unicode. The 'backslashreplace' encoding may help,
or you can use %r instead of %s.
