[PATCH evemu 07/19] py: Fix file object detection

[Daniel Martin]

Python 3 uses different classes for opened text and binary files.
Therefore a test on __name__ would need to cover more (i.e.
BufferedReader and TextIOWrapper). But, we just want to read from the
file objects and a test for the attribute "read" is sufficient and even
more generic.

Additionally, just check if the type of an object is str and not if its
__name__ is "str".

v2: Fix a typo in "Therefore".
