I don't agree that PyUnicode_AsString is useless. There are many cases where you don't need the length of the string, e.g. when relying on NULL termination when passing stuff to some C library. I suggest to close this report as "works for me". As for the unrelated issue of PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize: AFAICT, PyString_AsStringAndSize doesn't support Unicode objects (and IMO shouldn't, either). Making PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize and PyString_AsStringAndSize similar is probably a good idea.
