apply_edit gives error on Python 3.3

[Hodapp87]

Taking the example code from the help for Levenshtein.apply_edit:

from Levenshtein import *
e = editops('man', 'scotsman')
apply_edit(e, 'man', 'scotsman')
apply_edit(e[:3], 'man', 'scotsman')

This works fine on Python 2.7.6:

Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 26 2013, 12:52:49) 
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from Levenshtein import *
>>> e = editops('man', 'scotsman')
>>> apply_edit(e, 'man', 'scotsman')
'scotsman'
>>> apply_edit(e[:3], 'man', 'scotsman')
'scoman'

However, it gives an error on Python 3.3.3:

http://www.python-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=32969 seems to indicate the same.

Indeed, this occurs because string_to_edittype(PyObject *string) only seems to support C PyString, that is str on python 2 and bytes on python 3.
