Christian: 1) in py3k, loads and dumps always seem to operate on/produce str objects, but encode_basestring_ascii returns a bytes object. Why is that? 2) what is the use of the encoding argument in py3k? it looks completely ignored (bytes objects are not allowed as input and never produced as output)
