Hi, After attempted all the hacks come from my mind, I solved the unicode string to const char* conversion problem by simply calling a Python C-API: _PyUnicode_AsString. Since it is start with an underscore, it is not a public API and not documented. But I wonder why it is not documented, as it's really a useful API. PyUnicode manages a PyBytes object as the cached encoded string, and _PyUnicode_AsString will return the lvalue inside the encoded string. So we don't need anything for lifetime management in our code, this API will keep the same semantic as PyString_AsString.
Now most of the test cases are passed. Just some corner things remaining, and it seems there is a 2to3 bug caused some doctests syntax not fixed. I'm going to take care of these.
