In Python you are not using *byte* counts, it indexes *unicode
codepoints*. You may convert unicode Python objects to bytes objects
by using `string.encode(vim.options['encoding'])`, use
`.decode(vim.options['encoding'])` to convert back. bytes objects are
indexed by bytes. You may also count codepoints on Vim side by using
`strchars()`.
