Well, maybe somebody could spend 15 making this work, then we
wouldn't need to discuss it any more?

IIRC, the error message was "Nonetype has no member .encode", or
something like that.  I know I copied it into an email to -devel.
It's pretty easy to check if s is None or not, in python.  The
error is therefore pretty easy to avoid.
