Summary: Python configured with --disable-unicode fails tests, more
Initial Comment:
When building Python with:
./configure --disable-unicode
the test suite has many spurious failures because
modules and tests assume that unicode support is available.
Installing this Python (using "make install") fails at
the end of the first run of compileall.py, since that
script detects and reports failures; the output
contains many lines with the message
Sorry: ValueError: ('Unicode escapes not legal when
Unicode disabled',)
This should be fixed, or --disable-unicode should be
removed.
