Oops, Python 2.6 still needs explicit indexes ('{0}', not '{}').  It's
an easy fix, so I'll queue it for v2.  You're still going to need
Python 2.7 or greater for collections.OrderedDict().  We could word
around that too, but do we really care about 2.6?  I don't expect that
the installed nmbug-status userbase is so large and backward that
upgrading to 2.7 will be that hard ;).  2.6 isn't even getting
security fixes anymore [1], so I think it's time to migrate :p.

Hmm.  __future__'s unicode_literals should be giving us a Unicode
target, so I'm not sure why we'd have trouble injecting Unicode.  This
works fine for me on Python 2.7 and 3.3.  Maybe you just have a funky
encoding?  What is your:

  $ locale
  LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  …
  $ python -c 'import locale, sys; print(locale.getpreferredencoding() or sys.getdefaultencoding())'
  UTF-8

Cheers,
Trevor
