Still doesn't handle unicode strings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Steps to reproduce:
>>> import APNSWrapper
>>> a = APNSWrapper.APNSNotification()
>>> a.alert(u"BLAHBLAHBLAH")
<APNSWrapper.notifications.APNSNotification object at 0x426c70>
>>> a.badge(4)
>>> a.tokenHex(<YOUR_KEY_HERE>)
<APNSWrapper.notifications.APNSNotification object at 0x426c70>
>>> b = APNSWrapper.APNSNotificationWrapper(certificate=<PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE>, 
sandbox=True)
>>> b.append(a)
>>> b.notify()
True

The device will set the badge correctly (to 4) but it won't show any alert 
message. This is because there is no alert message sent, since it's unicode.

I've included a patch below.

APNSProperty does not also handle unicode as the data.

if not isinstance(data, (int, str, list, tuple, float)):
should be:
if not isinstance(data, (int, str, list, tuple, float, unicode)):

I also run into this issue and had to encode the msg in UTF-8 before pushing it 
: 
msg.encode("utf-8")

Morever, I'm having issue trying to push  the '\n' char in a message like "This 
is a \n test". Did anybody manage to achieve that ? :/

This bombs:
   alert.loc_args([u"Márcio"])

I had to patch line 73 of notifications.py to look like this:

self.locArgs = [ '"%s"'.encode('utf8') % x.encode('utf8') for x in la ]

Make that 

     self.locArgs = [ '"%s"'.encode('utf8') % unicode(x).encode('utf8') for x in la ]

(so that it can eat any values, like teh original code).
