test_fake_result_format mad about unicode

[mrtyler]

python 2.7 on snow leopard.

is this a subtle way of telling me my python environment is misconfigured wrt unicode?

I wrote this test. It asserts that the fake thing has the same type-structure as the real thing.

The fake uses bytes (aka python2 str) in the exception_info_pretty slot, while the real thing uses unicode there.

It may be that you're using a different version of ipython, and the ipython function we're using has been updated to use unicode there, but that seems unlikely given that there are ansi codes in that string.

Repeatable:

$ python --version
Python 2.7.3
$ virtualenv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install catbox && pip install -e . && pip install ipdb && testify test

Also repeatable in python 2.6.7 with the same steps
