So, in the end, I have went the long way and bisected cpython to=20
find the commit which broke my tests, and it seems that the=20
culprit is http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/123f2dc08b3e so it is=20
clearly something Unicode related.

Unfortunately, it really doesn't tell me what exactly is broken=20
(is it a known regression) and if there is known workaround. =20
Could anybody suggest a way how to find bugs on=20
http://bugs.python.org related to some particular commit (plain=20
search for 123f2dc0 didn=E2=80=99t find anything).

Any thoughts?

Mat=C4=9Bj

P.S.: Crossposting to python-devel in hope there would be=20
somebody understanding more about that particular commit. For=20
that I have also intentionally not trim the original messages to=20
preserve context.
