cursor.description column names reported as bytes in python 3

[Mike Bayer]

Python 3.2, MySQL connector/python 0.3.2-devel

from mysql import connector

conn = connector.connect(user='scott', password='tiger', host='localhost', database='test')

cursor = conn.cursor()

cursor.execute("SELECT 1 AS a, 2 AS b, 3 AS c")

colnames = [desc[0] for desc in cursor.description]
assert colnames == ['a', 'b', 'c'], colnames

output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 10, in <module>
    assert colnames == ['a', 'b', 'c'], colnames
AssertionError: [bytearray(b'a'), bytearray(b'b'), bytearray(b'c')]

We should make sure they it is returned as unicode yes, decoded from whatever character set was used.
