with namedtuples and unicode literals enabled, our patch break with:

    Module py2stdlib, line 266, in infer_named_tuple
      ''' % {'name': name, 'fields': attributes})
    Module Products.ERP5Type.patches.pylint, line 74, in string_build
      encoding = _guess_encoding(data)
    Module astroid.builder, line 65, in _guess_encoding
      if string.startswith('\xef\xbb\xbf'):
    UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xef in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

because pylint/astroid uses string_build to evaluate the named tuple and the source code enabled 
unicode_literals future, string_build is called with an unicode object.
