[PATCH evemu v2 4/4] py: make Device python 3 compatible

[Benjamin Tissoires]

The previous commit breaks Python 3.0 support due to devnode returning
a bytes object.

We could also force devnode to return an unicode string by using
decode, but still, the test "if type(f) == str" will fail in Python 2.X
because str and unicode are distinct object types.

So, in order to avoid having to introduce bad quirks, just drop the test
regarding str, and let open() telling us what is wrong in case we don't
give it a file object.
