repr() for Unicode doesn't use the Unicode database. Are you sure that
those errors are related to the upgrade ?

Looking closer at the patch, you also changed the unicodetype mappings
and since this removes a lot of entries, it looks like the Unicode
consortium either moved some mappings out of the UCD file into a
separate file or made some massive changes to the code point properties
(which is unlikely).

If that's the case, please also revert the Python 2.7 checkin.

Thanks,
