Unicode characters break search

[niteria]

Please see the attached screenshots.

The string I'm searching is "uńicode".

The error message is: "'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0144' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)".

Logs from console:

If I build/run the python3 version with make virtualenv3 && make binary3 && sudo pip3 install dist/current/snorkel_lite-current-py3-none-any.whl && /usr/local/bin/snorkel.frontend version, it works.

this is painful to fix in python2, but am looking into it

Do you want to support python2? A lot of projects don't: https://python3statement.org/

personally, i want to support python2, but i understand that everyone is moving to python3. it does make stuff difficult to support both versions, though.
