Thank you for the note. May I ask what motivated you to create yet another backport? Since my code usually starts with from __future__ import unicode_literals (unless it's outright requiring 3.x), I don't pass in bytes by accident.

Two motivations, I wanted to have an updated backport and I wanted it to be as close to the original source as possible. My backport has only 30 different lines and 9 differnt lines in the test file. I commented out unused code instead of just removing it, as it is easier to compare with the sources and to update.

For example in your test_file there are many changes, specially because of the required use of u'...'.
I also noticed that in your backport you didn't change the lines except: which in Python 3 are equivalent to except Exception:. In Python 2 with a bare except you would also catch KeyboardInterrupt and SystemError.
