alert method doesn't support unicode

[shula]

"alert" doesn't work with unicode, but with current local encoding:

running python2.7.3, 64bit, from PythonWin,

autopy.alert.alert("thmhe איציק") # img 1

True

autopy.alert.alert(title=u"Hello, איציק", msg="string from pythonwin")

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 7-11: ordinal not in range(128)

... (tried all kinds of unicode/utf - all gives errors) ...

Last test, non-unicode encoding, img 2:

autopy.alert.alert(title=s.encode('cp1255'), msg="string from pythonwin")

True
