Hi,

I am working on unit tests for Solum as a side effect of new unit tests I
found that we use unicode strings in the way which is not compatible with
python3.

Here is an exception form python3 gate:
Server-side error: "global name 'unicode' is not defined". Detail:
2013-12-04 Traceback (most recent call last): File
"/home/jenkins/workspace/gate-solum-python33/.tox/py33/lib/python3.3/site-packages/wsmeext/pecan.py"
 result = f(self, *args, **kwargs)
 File "./solum/api/controllers/v1/assembly.py", line 59, in get
raise wsme.exc.ClientSideError(unicode(error))
NameError: global name 'unicode' is not defined

Here is a documentation for python3:
http://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html

Quick summary: you can't use unicode() function and u' ' strings in Pyhton3.

Thanks
Georgy
