If I'm reading the docs right, PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault was added in
Python 3.3, so I've tweaked the patch a little (see attached). I know
the current code has worked on some 3.x versions but I don't know
which exactly as I don't currently have them here, but I'll bet it was
3.2 or below. Ashesh - can you have the most appropriate person from
the team check this works on 3.0 through 3.5 please?

Cool - many thanks!
