#6 Type string in aes.py

[Marco Beri]

In aes.py there is 4 time this code:
if str(type(data)) != "<type 'string'>":

With python 2.3, it doesn't work, much better to use:
if str(type(data)) != str(type("")):

Replace
if str(type(data)) != "<type 'string'>"
With
if str(type(data)) != "<type 'string'>" and
str(type(data)) != "<type 'str'>":

Also occurences in sha256

or rather,
if type(data) != str:

seems to work with all snake types.

heres a patch to get it work with any version of Python
using the provided Types Module and not string compare ;)
