  Multistring doesnt work as a python2 string
  Previously you were able to so ~~`str(multistring("foo"))`~~ but it seems this no longer works.
  
  EDIT: apologies that was a bad example it should have read something like `str(multistring("é"))`
  
  Im wondering if we should add py2 compat similar to the one in django (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/_modules/django/utils/six/#python_2_unicode_compatible)
  
  @claudep any thoughts on this?
