Python 3 and unicode

[wrightmx]

Fix problem where the unicode function does not exist in python 3.

Also, fixed a problem with running tests on mac os x (see Stack Overflow).

unipath is currently broken in python 3 due to this, is there any update in merging this into master? Thanks.

@mikeorr It would be great if you merged this pull request and made it available to others through PyPi

I'm also being affected this. Would love to use Unipath!

Okay, this situation is really weird: I have a Linux with Python 3.4.1, and Unipath works like a charm. On the other hand, I have a MacOS X with Python 3.4.2 (from brew) and I get the same issue as you guys do.

When I try things in the terminal, here is what happens:

% python3.4

>>> import os
>>> _base = os.path.supports_unicode_filenames and unicode or str
>>> print(_base)
<class 'str'>

And the weirdest thing is that PyCharm will not give me an error on my Linux computer but will detect it on the MacOS X computer.

Does anyone have a clue where this would come from?
