str and unicode

[titocosta]

In order to work properly with parameters passed as unicode strings, the correct way to check if a parameter is a string in Python 2.x in newsapi_client.py is:

if isinstance(q, basestring)

instead of:

if type(q) == str

basestring includes both str and unicode.

See python docs for reference.
