getattr/setattr still ASCII-only, not Unicode - blows up SGMLlibfrom BeautifulSoup

[John Nagle]

Just noticed, again, that getattr/setattr are ASCII-only, and don't support
Unicode.

SGMLlib blows up because of this when faced with a Unicode end tag:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/sgmllib.py", line 353, in finish_endtag
method = getattr(self, 'end_' + tag)
UnicodeEncodeEr ror: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xae'
in position 46: ordinal not in range(128)

Should attributes be restricted to ASCII, or is this a bug?
