In that case the type of ReaderObj.field has changed from char* to
Py_UNICODE*. _FromUnicode should be analagous to the
_FromStringAndSize call here.

Actually, I missed one spot that should use Py_UNICODE instead of
char. get_nullchar_as_None should be taking a Py_UNICODE instead of a
char, and PyUnicode_DecodeASCII should really be a call to
_FromUnicode.
I'll say though that I'm not positive this patch is the Right Way to
do the conversion. Review by someone that does would be appreciated.
