Here is my patch.  This is a rewrite of the UTF7 encoder and decoder. 
It now handles surrogate pairs correctly, so non-BMP characters work
with this codec.  And my motivating example ('/'.decode('utf7')) works
OK.  I'm not totally confident of the error-handling code here, but in
'strict' mode this is definitely a better codec than the one it
replaces.  This patch is based on the Python 2.6 distribution.
