Python 3 renamed the unicode type to str, the old str type has been replaced by bytes.
if isinstance(unicode_or_str, str):
text = unicode_or_str
decoded = False
else:
text = unicode_or_str.decode(encoding)
decoded = True
You may want to read the Python 3 porting HOWTO for more such details. There is also Lennart Regebro's Porting to Python 3: An in-depth guide, free online.
Last but not least, you could just try to use the 2to3 tool to see how that translates the code for you.

If you need to have the script keep working on python2 and 3 as I did, this might help someone
import sys
if sys.version_info[0] >= 3:
unicode = str
and can then just do for example
foo = unicode.lower(foo)
