fixes #1

Problem

When converting cases in Python 2 when the data has a unicode character in it, you will get this UnicodeEncodeError:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\uXXXX' in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

Solution

Try/except converting the input to a string with str. If a UnicodeEncodeError is raised then encode the string to 'ascii' and continue.
