Having trouble passing a string into shedskin'd modules

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In fake.py (name doesn't change anything):
def gimme_str(a):
    return a

if __name__=='__main__':
    gimme_str('AOE')

Then run shedskin -e fake.py && make && python -c 'from fake import gimme_str; 
gimme_str("anything")'

It returns:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: error in conversion to Shed Skin (string expected)

I've tried a lot of variations like ' vs ", not sure how else I can pass in a 
string. I even tried chr(100) and chr(100)+chr(100) to no avail (both in 
fake.py and the shell). This is occurring in 0.7 and 0.7.1, python 2.6. Works 
fine when it's not a module.

thanks! I'm not sure why this doesn't work for you.. it works fine here in any 
case (standard ubuntu 10.10). is there anything unusual about your setup..?

I don't think so... I just ran git pull and sudo ./setup.py install to upgrade. 
I have the same issue with integers and the rest. I tried the 
"shedskin...python -c" bit inside shedskin's source and from ~/tmp/ and the 
same thing happened. I'll try on another machine later.

Even stranger: I updated to python2.6 for something else and no problem 
anymore. Tried running everything through 2.5 (shedskin, the shell, etc) any no 
problem. My system was in a weird state, go ahead and close/delete this ticket.
