code/img_imageio encoding issue

[RedXBeard]

Hello;

Till the fixed version, on file kivy/kivy/core/image/img_imageio.pyx line 332,
to handle nonunicode filenames, encoding operation applied, would it be possible to check for type first then applying encoding operation? because otherwise file paths' raising;

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xcc in position 28: ordinal not in range(128)

Thank you,

The line has moved, but not been fixed.

def load(self, filename):
    # FIXME: if the filename is unicode, the loader is failing.

It would be good to have an example minimum failing code to test when it is fixed.
