It seems to me you need to use the B data type, not S.

The documentation does state you should use S for strings
particularly because of future unicode changes, but I guess
those changes have not been made or have not made their way
through to the Python wrapper.

The C++ header files still indicate char* is used for all
the data type S (string) functions/methods. *shrug*
