fix UnicodeEncodeError when retrieving words from utf-8 encoded file

Summary:
This commit fixes the issue #746
pybind11's `py::str` constructor [has a different behaviour](https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/blob/ccbe68b084806dece5863437a7dc93de20bd9b15/include/pybind11/pytypes.h#L930) between Python 2 and Python 3. When casting from C++ string to py::str, we should decode as utf-8, but we should also encode it back in order to construct `py::str` correctly.
