I believe we've just changed the meaning here. string_types includes both binary and unicode. type('') with from __future__ import unicode_literals will always only be unicode.

I think we should probably have if isinstance(auth, text_type), to preserve the meaning, as the intent is to encode unicode into bytestrings.

if isinstance(auth, string_types):
# Work around django test client oddness
auth = auth.encode(HTTP_HEADER_ENCODING)
