Hey there,
Nice work you have done, thanks!
I just came across an error while trying to download/upload files with my python3.3 install:

NameError: global name 'basestring' is not defined

After a quick web research, I found the solution mentioned here to work just fine.
I added the lines right after the import lines in client.py.

I also would really like to use you library with Python3. As @minami-o mentioned, adding

try:
    basestring
except NameError:
    basestring = str

after all the imports should be sufficient.

The solution in pull request #28 should also work.

A new way to decide if the type is string instead of by isinstance
ff37316 
py3 doesn't support basestring, so we need a new way to decide if
the type of an object is string. The module 'six' could
help us: isinstance(var, six.string_types).

In order to get this work under debian and python 3.5 I had to change basestring to str.
I followed instructions from here amnong/easywebdav#26.

Thnx!
