[issue9996] binascii should convert unicode strings

[R. David Murray]

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

Since the issue/patch is about binascii, and I agree with Martin that binascii should continue to do bytes-to-bytes transforms (especially since that is its most common use case, IMO), I'm going to close this issue.  Please open the discussion on python-dev or python-ideas if you wish to proceed with some sort of feature request.
