[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

>>> struct.pack('2s', 'ha')
   b'ha'
   >>> struct.pack('2s', 'hé')
   b'h\xc3'
   >>> struct.pack('3s', 'hé')
   b'h\xc3\xa9'

That looks like a *buggy* api to me, too.  I don't see how we can let that stand.
