sendMsg時にエンコードエラー(※追記あり)

SkPy Python

skpyでメッセージを送るときに下記のエラー発生。 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 32, in 
    sk.chats[sk.contacts[user].chat.id].sendMsg("Hello")
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/skpy/chat.py", line 142, in sendMsg
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-2: ordinal not in range(128)


ソースを見てると下記の部分で相手の名前を引っ張ってくるときにエンコードエラーが発生しているようだ。 

        def __str__(self):
            return " ".join(filter(None, (self.first, self.last)))


というわけで以下のように修正すれば動く。 

diff --git a/skpy/user.py b/skpy/user.py

追記 別の個所でも同じ現象が発生。対応する。※grepして修正するのめんどい。
