A patch by Alexandre Vassolotti and Christian Heimes exists for these 4 items: http://bugs.python.org/issue1247 However it breaks too many tests to be applied right now. Yes, it's breaking horrible. It doesn't make sense to work on the fixes until "change the constructor for PyString to match the one for PyBytes" is done. PyString needs to accept an optional encoding and error argument.
I do that, currently, patch should be up in a minute.
