Tahoe-LAFS is being ported to run on both Python 2 and 3 at same time; eventually the former will be dropped, but for now it's both.
We're adding from __future__ import unicode, but that breaks things like remoteref.callRemote("mymethod", arg1) because on Python 2, "mymethod" is now Unicode, but on Python 2 Foolscap expects it to be a native string, i.e. bytes.
It would be good to accept unicode strings on Python 2 as well; I will submit PR that does that.
