incompatible with Python 3

[Ichimonji10]

Fauxfactory appears to be incompatible with Python 3.

Why do I say this? When executing one of the example lines of code displayed in the readme (FauxFactory.generate_alphanumeric()), I get an error stating name 'unicode' is not defined. This is probably because the application assumes that it is being run under Python 2. However, unicode support has been more fully integrated in Python 3, and the "unicode" function has been removed from the standard library.

Here's some copy-pasta from my machine:

Python 3.4.0 (default, Mar 17 2014, 23:20:09)·

>>> from fauxfactory import FauxFactory
>>> FauxFactory.generate_alphanumeric()

Yeppers peppers. The exact same set of commands works under Python 2.

Thanks for the issue @Ichimonji10 I'll work on getting it compatible with Python 3.

Travis uses Python 2.7 by default.

Done! I may do some refactoring but it should be good to go now:

Great! I can confirm that the test suite runs successfully under Python 2.7.6 and 3.4.0, at least on my dev machine.

Cool! I also tested it on 3.4 here and it worked. I wonder if Travis has 3.4 already...

[Ichimonji10]

Yes, it does.
