Phew, I sure am glad I was missing that. :-)

I saw as the first line in PyUnicode_Encode that it was creating a unicode string. I then went to look at PyString_Encode and saw the same. There I realized that the string created initially wasn't the string returned (it's the object from _AsEncodedString). Which naturally tells me what you just did. Thanks. Now can you fix test_subprocess hanging? :-) Please, I'll even buy you lunch and a coke at the sprints at Google. You are coming, right?
