Keyterms Error: Input terms must be strings or spacy Tokens, not <type 'unicode'>. about textacy HOT 3 CLOSED

I modified spacy_utils.py line 84 with
return (token.text if preserve_case(token) else token.lemma_).encode('ascii', 'ignore')
and its working.

@pklalitjha Well, shoot. I've been developing textacy entirely in Python 3.5, but trying to maintain Python 2.7 compatibility. It seems I've failed. str is unicode in Python 3, but not 2. 😩 Your hack is a fine band-aid for now, but I'll prioritize ensuring Py2/3 compatibility everywhere, not to mention adding tests for the keyterms module and running all tests in both Python 2 and 3.

Sorry about the trouble! You're my first GitHub issue on textacy — finally feels like an open-source project.

@pklalitjha I've pushed some changes to master that should fix your Py2 str issue. There may be other Py2/3 compatibility issues I've not found -- please holler if you run into anything!
