gmpy.mpq does not accept unicode strings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

try: gmpy.mpq(u"1")

raises an exception:
"TypeError: gmpy.mpq() expects numeric or string argument"

Similar for gmpy.mpf(u"1")

The argument should be casted to ascii.

Unicode mostly works with Python 3.x on the very experimental changes I've been
making on the trunk. The trunk still has other issues, though. ;-)

I'll look at adding unicode support for Python 2.x after I resolve the issues 
with
Python 3.x.

Thanks for the bug reports.

Unicode support for Python 2.x has been added to gmpy 1.10. There will be an 
alpha
release in next few days.

Reopening. It has been fixed for mpz. I'll get mpq and mpf into the beta 
release.
