While PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize() may be a better solution if the length is required, PyUnicode_AsString is enough() when it is not required. So I don't buy that argument. Since there are dedicated UTF-8 encoding functions, both functions are pure convenience anyway. Embedded \0 bytes can bite you, but that's completely unrelated to the issue discussed here. I wouldn't oppose renaming the function, but I don't see why it should go.
