What steps will reproduce the problem?

api = twitter.Api(username="user", password="passwd", input_encoding="utf-8")
api.PostUpdate("あ" * 140)

then we got TwitterError.

Japanese 1 utf-8  charator consumes  3 bytes. So len(status) returns 420 in the 
above case and we get "Text must be less than or equal to %d character".

We must count the string length as  unicode. The patch count the string lengh 
as unicode.
