unicode() method does not work in Python 3.3

[linkmic]

Hi,

I recently submitted a fix for django-haystack so that UUID pk fields would work properly.
https://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack/pull/1115

However, I notice that the Haystack tests for Python 3.3 fail because of:
(From https://travis-ci.org/toastdriven/django-haystack/jobs/44221681)

...
File "/home/travis/build/toastdriven/django-haystack/django_uuidfield-0.5.0-py3.3.egg/uuidfield/fields.py", line 26, in unicode
return unicode(str(self))
nose.proxy.NameError: Problem installing fixture '/home/travis/build/toastdriven/django-haystack/test_haystack/core/fixtures/initial_data.json': global name 'unicode' is not defined
...

In the unicode method for the field, a simple check of whether this is Python 2 or 3 might be the way to go.

Thanks,
/mike

I just noticed this commit/merge which I think would fix this problem.

Is a new release scheduled?

[edersonbadeca]

actually this happens. we needed to add a patch to solve, because we are using in production.
Is there any date for new release?

A release with python 3 support would indeed be nice :)
