 I just realized that, in Boost.Python with Python 3, there is no way to
 accept a Python bytes object as function argument in C++ side. Since both
 std::string and char* are mapped to Python unicode object (which is the
 default str type in Python 3). This will cause trouble when porting
 existing code to Python 3.

 The attached patch fix this by allow both unicode string and bytes being
 converted to std::string.
