[issue1266570] PEP 349: allow str() to return unicode

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

PEP 349 was rejected because it breaks backward compatibility, eg. it 
breaks the assomption that str(u"x") converts unicode to byte string.

Python3 is the only good fix for all byte/character Python2 issues.
