xbmcaddon functions in bridge

Hi! First of all, great work with this. I've been looking forward to seeing something like this for quite some time. :-)

So I thought I'd take a stab at rewriting one of my add-ons using this library, but there are some functions in the xbmcaddon module I need to use. You're supposed to store the add-on/PVR specific settings in the addon_data folder, so usually I do something like xbmc.translatePath(addon.getAddonInfo('profile')).

Would it be possible to retrieve the addon_data folder in a similar way using the bridge module? xbmcaddon.getSetting would've also be great to have implemented. :-)

Thanks again for your work on this!

Inexplicable UnicodeEncodeErrors

Sometimes, a string-based Python operation will randomly cause an exception:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'<whatever>' in position <whatever>: ordinal not in range(128)

Retrying the operation immediately after usually solves the problem, so I suspect there is something wrong on the C side of things.

Importing third-party modules

Currently, the Python interpreter in pvr.python does not recognize third-party modules that have been installed inside Kodi (script.module.requests for example).
