Description

There is a line in the usage example of allow_lazy:
fancy_utility_function = allow_lazy(fancy_utility_function, unicode)
It would be better to use six.text_type instead of unicode, because unicode does not exist of python3

There's a lot of places in the documentation with code examples that don't work in python3 (see #19211 for example).

I think we need to decide what to do about it in general.

From what I understand, the current position is that python3 support is "experimental", so the documentation stays python2-oriented. This will surely change at some point, and probably soon.

Python 3 support will not be called experimental in 1.6, so yes, a fix is welcome here. However, I'm not sure if always using six is a good idea. It's the right thing to do to support both Python 2 and Python 3, but most users will probably target either one or the other. An alternative could be adding a str/unicode note somewhere in the docs and refer to that note each time we are using unicode in examples.

For what it's worth, I'm +1 on claudep's proposal.

Left minor comments on the PR, should be good to go without another review though, thanks!
