[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2 4/9] python: Do not mix bytes and unicode strings

[Mathieu Bridon]

Mixing the two is a long-standing recipe for errors in Python 2, so much
so that Python 3 now completely separates them.

This commit stops treating both as if they were the same, and in the
process makes the script compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
