The patch implements the PyObjbect_Text() idea (an API that
returns a basestring instance, ie. string or unicode) and
then uses this in '%s' (the string version) to properly propogate
to u'%s' (the unicode version).
Maybe we should also expose the C API as suggested in the patch,
e.g. as text(obj).
