[Zope3-dev] str to unicode promotion test failures (with patch)

[Osvaldo Santana]

Hi,

I'm attaching a little patch to fix failures in zope.app.container tests.

I don't know if this is the correct solution for this problem but in
my Python is possible to promote a string with hi-bit-set characters
to unicode (charset Latin1/ISO8859-1):

---
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Aug 15 2004, 14:14:00)
[GCC 3.3.3 (release)] on linux-i386
>>> s = "A string with hi-bit-set characters: \700\701"
>>> unicode(s)
u'A string with hi-bit-set characters: \xc0\xc1'
---

This situation causes failures in BTrees tests too:

Error in test testBucketGet (BTrees.tests.test_compare.CompareTest)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/osvaldo/Zope3/src/BTrees/tests/test_compare.py", line 32, in setUp
    self.assertRaises(UnicodeError, unicode, self.s)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/unittest.py", line 295, in failUnlessRaises
    raise self.failureException, excName
AssertionError: UnicodeError
:

Thanks,
Osvaldo
