Help with Python 3 support in core Python plugin

[Kenny Evitt]

There are a couple of open pull requests for the Python plugin (a core plugin).

I'm not familiar enough with Python to evaluate the changes made in the PRs.

I'd be grateful for anyone willing to test the PRs and provide appropriate feedback about them.

Not super familiar with Python 3 unicode stuff, but should be pretty easy to test out the virtualenv pull request... I'll have a look.

I posted a comment on the unicode encode vs decode https://github.com/LightTable/Python/pull/30#issuecomment-116751104
(Long story short: encode only worked before because python 2 is forgiving on unicode stuff.)

Hopefully the rest of the changes are fairly innocuous. But obviously testing would really help!

Thanks.

Thanks Simon and Andy!
