Fixes unicode error in Python 2

[seitenbau-govdata]

Fixes #502

[seitenbau-govdata]

@amercader I haven't found any workable solution to create a test for /dataset?tags=abcčd, so maybe it would be ok without a test?

BTW: The tests for CKAN 2.10 are broken on the master as well. So I think it has nothing to do with the changes in the pull request.

@seitenbau-govdata this should do the trick:

Note I didn't use url_for because there was another bug in CKAN core with unicode handling but went too down the rabbit hole.

The 2.10 failures should be fixed now

@amercader I have tried the quite similar test.

def test_package_search_interface_before_search_page_is_rendered(self, app):

    dataset1 = factories.Dataset(title=u'Fïrst dataset')

    response = app.get(u'/dataset?title=Fïrst')

    _assert_in_body(dataset1['title'], response)

But it hasn't worked with CKAN < 2.9 because of a unicode error in app.get(u'/dataset?title=Fïrst').

And I was getting into the rabbit whole with using url_for. 😃 I get it to work with a custom url_for implementation (e.g. as in ckanext-dcat) that switches to the old style if it is CKAN < 2.9. But then the test didn't fail without the fix as I would expect. Probably because there is some other unicode encoding handling in the url_for core code.

@amercader This is the unicode error in the test I got for CKAN < 2.9. It looks like the test app cannot handle the unicode value for the parameter when calling app.get(url).

Let's remove the test then and not waste more time, the change is straightforward enough

[seitenbau-govdata]

@amercader I have removed the test now.
