AttributeError in 'decode' function with python3

[Idrek]

I've found following error trying to execute the snippets from the docs (Python3.4 in Linux):

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

in uppercase_escape() function of the utils.py module.

Looking for a solution I found this post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9327993/python3-unicode-escape-doesnt-work-with-non-ascii-bytes/12888081#12888081

So I changed the original function to:

def uppercase_escape(s):
    try: 
        return re.sub(
            r'\\U[0-9a-fA-F]{8}',
            lambda m: m.group(0).decode('unicode-escape'), s)
    except AttributeError as e:
        import codecs
        return re.sub(
            r'\\U[0-9a-fA-F]{8}',
            lambda m: codecs.getdecoder('unicode_escape')(m.group(0))[0], s)

I'm not proficient in Unicode so I don't know if this workaround is correct but now in my test it doesn't break.

This should be fixed since version 2014.04.04.7 (see #2695 and 676eb3f).
Thanks for the report, for future reports please post the command you are using and the output you get when adding the --verbose option, otherwise reproducing the problem is really hard.
