It sounds like a limitation in PyGTK which might be a bug (because of
its non-symmetric nature across different API calls). However rather
than waiting for any potential bug fixes, try a closer look at the
gettext module. There are multiple different, yet semantically
similar, functions which can be installed as _. One of those returns
str strings instead of unicode strings.
