unicode is not defined

This line seems to be fixed, or ignored with if str is not str, when I install 1.0.3a1 but it still seems to be in master and also in the 1.0.3a1 tagged branch. I’m using python3.3.

NameError: name 'unicode' is not defined

When I install FormEncode-1.3.0a1 with pip install the code looks like this:

    if str is not str:  # Python 2

        def __unicode__(self):
            if isinstance(self.msg, str):
                return self.msg
            elif isinstance(self.msg, str):
                return self.msg.decode('utf8')
            else:
                return str(self.msg)

Can we have a new release (looks like 2.0.0 is in the making) because I’m hitting this issue with Python 3.4.3 in a Pyramid project. The installation off the GitHub repo seems to be working and resolve the Python 2 vs. 3 (unicode not defined) issue:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/formencode/formencode.git#egg=FormEncode

Hey @lambacck thanks for FormEncode! Users of SQLObject on Python 3 (which relies on FormEncode) are running into this with 1.3.0. Is there any chance a new release could be made, perhaps a 1.3.1 or something? Thanks in advance!
