Review comment:
       I think it is a way of jumping out of the code within the for loop and 
continuing with the loop itself:
   ```
   for k in self.property.keys():
     if <k is unicode or its subclasses, excluding symbol and char>:
       if <k is a subclass of unicode>:
         <convert key to unicode>
       continue
     other stuff...
   ```
   is a way of avoiding other stuff if <k is unicode or its subclasses, 
excluding symbol and char> is true. But I am sure there is a way of rearranging 
this to avoid it. Certainly it is not possible to replace continue with pass, 
that is not logically the same, as other stuff would also then be executed.

> [python] Non-string message property keys not handled correctly

>                 Key: PROTON-2237
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2237
>             Project: Qpid Proton
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: python-binding
>            Reporter: Kim van der Riet
>            Priority: Major
>
> The AMQP 1.0 spec allows only string keys for message properties.
> Proton's Python binding has a method (_message.py:91 _check_property_keys()) 
> for checking message property keys, but it does not handle all cases 
> correctly:
>  # Proton types Symbol and Char are derived from string, and are allowed in 
> the test. This results in an illegal encoding.
>  # Because in Python 2, many coders carelessly use string literals without 
> the required u'' prefix (and thus results in a bytes type), bytes types are 
> converted to unicode string types. However, the encode() function is being 
> used, which simply returns a binary type in Python 2 and raises an error in 
> Python 3. This should probably be the decode() method, which returns a string 
> and works for both Python 2 and 3.
