Inconsistent encoding between zone name and dns_records name for internationalized domains about python-cloudflare

[mahtin]

@FutureSharks - oops! Normally I would say there's some code you need to dig up in order to make punycode and domain names work cleanly together. Python does a so-so job at doing this.

You are correct that xn--sanremomlheim-3ob.de is sanremomülheim.de. However sanremom\u0102\u017alheim.de as you say is sanremomĂźlheim.de which is clearly wrong.

Off to debug ... more later!

@FutureSharks - I've created an internal ticket to address this. The name value in the response from a /zones API call is wrong. The zone_name value in the response from a /zones/:id/dns_records API call is correct. This should work for you ...

>>>print dns_records[0]['zone_name']
www.sanremomülheim.de

I'll update you when there's a change to the API calls.

In other news. The cli4 command also had a small python bug that stopped it working with IDNs. If you grab the latest from github (or pip version 1.4.11 or above) you will be able to test this on the command line.

$ cli4 /zones/:sanremomülheim.de
...
$
$ cli4 /zones/:sanremomülheim.de/dns_records
...
$

OK great, thanks for the update, mahtin.

@FutureSharks - well it's been a long time and I've finally squashed the unicode bugs. I've also made the library python2/python3 compatible. Both the cli4 command and the libraries now do the right thing. This was purely an issue with strings and unicode and python2/python3 json. Here's my test zone and your example from above.

This is now pushed to GitHub and PyPI as version 2.0.4.

Please test and hopefully you this is acceptable.
