Summary: unicode default arguments raises an error

Initial Comment:
A function with a default unicode argument raises an
error if pywin shows the argument-popup.

Reproduction:
Enter the folowing in the interactive window:
def test(a=u'a'):
 pass

Enter "test(" and an error will be raised:
TypeError: array initializer must be list or string

The cause is that array's are created with the text of
the default arguments. This is done with typecode 'c'.
 This isn't unicode compatible.


(PythonWin 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) build
201, Windows XP)
