Describe the bug

• maya depends on dateparser >= 0.7.0
• since this commit, dateparser is not compatible with Python 2.7 (despites its classifiers). At this time, this commit is present in dateparser 0.7.5 and 0.7.6

Hi @thomasleveil

Is not "incompatibility" but something not documented: "now the Locale.translate() method only accepts Unicode strings".

To fix it, you can pin an old version of dateparser (0.7.4), but as we fixed some bugs I recommend to update this portion of code by adding .decode('utf-8').

to be:

    base = en.translate(naturaldate.decode('utf-8'), settings=dateparser.conf.settings)

instead of:

    base = en.translate(naturaldate, settings=dateparser.conf.settings)

I tried this and it seems to work. However, I didn't test it properly, so let me know if there are any issues.

Apologize for the inconvenience!

(BTW, the next dateparser version won't be supporting Python <3.5.)
