DropDownItem doesn't work with unicode special characters

[batzkass]

Hi, If the a dropdown item text is a unicode string containing special characters, the dropDown.get_value() returns None. However, if you put an "on_click_listener" on the dropDown, the callback function "value" argument will be the right unicode string. This is actually the way I handle this, but it could be useful to get the dropDown value without. Note that the attribute "DropDownItem.attributes['selected']" will not be activated when there is a unicode special char in the text.

You can find a minimal script here : francois.kneib.free.fr/bug_unicode_dropdown.py

Hello @batzkass , Thank you for reporting. This problem doesn't happen with python3.x, I suggest you to use the most updated python version. I will see how to fix for python2.x. Have you the possibility to switch to a newer python version, or are you vinculated to an older one?

I could switch to python 3 in the future, but I lack time now. Anyway, in the case the solution is easy to implement, it could be a good idea to do so. I think about putting "from future import unicode_literals" at the very beginning of the remi scripts. Don't you think it could solve the issue ? It basically tells python to treat all strings as unicode, exactly like python 3 does.
