[issue31273] [2.7] unittest: Unicode support in TestCase.skip

Replacing str(e) with unicode(e) can introduce Unicode errors regressions. I'm not confident in doing such change late in the old 2.7 branch.

I suggest you to only use native strings (byte strings, "str" type) in Python 2, and slowly upgrade your application to Python 3.

I propose to close this issue as WONT FIX.
