It's not a bug, but such incompatibility problem will probably be
solved with Python 3.0, when most strings will managed as unicode.
The documentation says:

This has always worked fine for me.
>>> import string
>>> id = "Peter! *fine*"
>>> transtab = string.maketrans('/ ','_ ')
>>> print string.translate(id, transtab, '?&!;<=>*#[]{}')
Peter fine
Now if I do it with a unicode string:
>>> id = u"Peter! *fine*"
>>> transtab = string.maketrans('/ ','_ ')
