Code in getargs.c:convertsimple incorrectly uses PyUnicode_GetSize
instead of PyString_GET_SIZE when checking whether a bytes object
(encoded string) contains a null byte.

To reproduce: __import__('\u0080')
Incorrect behavior:
  TypeError: __import__() argument 1 must be string without null bytes,
not str
Correct behavior: 
  ImportError

Note the lack of null bytes:
  >>> '\u0080'.encode('utf-8')
  b'\xc2\x80'

Note that this patch will expose a bug fixed in issue1950. (See msg63363.)  I suggest that the import.c part of issue1950 and this go 
together.  Alexandre?

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Although I haven't reviewed this
patch yet, I find the naming of the `ustr` variable confusing -- e.g. is
it a bytes object or a unicode object? (It seems to be bytes). Anyway, I
will check this out later today, when I will get the time.

There is no `ustr` variable , you  probably mean  `uarg`.   If so, it  is
not introduced by the patch.   To me the patch looks straightforward and
correct, but a unit test should be added.  Some additional refactoring is
due for getargs.c (does py3k support builds without Py_USING_UNICODE?), but
the bug fix should not wait for that.

There is now issue2322 (Clean up getargs.c and its formatting 
possibilities) related to this.

I've added XXX comments to the code, so this is now tracked by #2322.
