Python 3 Exception: Type str doesn't support the buffer API

[itbabu]

Hi, I just tested django-memcache-admin with the python 3 branch of pylibmc: https://github.com/lericson/pylibmc/tree/py3k

I had this error:

    Environment:

    Traceback:

I have the same problem with latest pylibmc 1.5.0 which already supports Python3.
