[Owfs-developers] Python2.7 to 3

[Mick S. <mi...@su...>]

I am updating my python code from 2.7 to 3.7, using pyownet to 
communicate with 1-wire.

Reads and writes were strings in 2.7 but it seems they are binary in 
3.7.  I can get around this by appending .decode('utf-8) and 
.encode('utf-8) to the read and write functions, but I feel that I am 
making hard work of this.  Is there a better way to move reads and 
writes to Python3?

I don't understand why the change has occurred, but I guess that is not 
a question for this group.

Thanks

Mick
