Errors with Unicode (EncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position)

[pliske]

Hello, this library is awesome, but in using it I am running into some data related problems.
I am using the client.get_lead_activity() method

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position xx

....."get_lead_activity.py", line 17, in unwrap
root = ET.fromstring(response.text)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1300, in XML
parser.feed(text)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1640, in feed
self._parser.Parse(data, 0)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 9393-9402: ordinal not in range(128)

I had the same error. You just need to encode the response text. Look at this commit on my fork:

https://github.com/nicolewhite/marketo-python/commit/384f1450f6a3dc38b6816acdbdb9af0bada512b7

This fixed the problem.
