Here's a little known fact: by changing the Python2 default encoding to 'undefined' (yes, that's a real codec !), you can disable all automatic string coercion in Python2.
I tried that once: half the stdlib stops working if you do (for example, the re module), so it's not particularly useful for checking if your own code is unicode-safe.
