The problem is in your __str__() function, because Python 2 use __unicode__() instead of str to return Unicode string. By default p2 return bytes in __str__ and p3 return Unicode.
python_2_unicode_compatible works and I thing it is the best approach because you are support both version 3/2 . I recommend use Python 3 because has less problems with non-ascii characters, but p2 it's OK too.
