Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade python-csb to the new upstream version (in
Git[1]). If I try to build it I get:

Any idea how to fix this?
In the preamble of `setup.py` add:
```
from io import open
```
Then replace subsequent calls to `open` in the file with:
```
open(..., encoding="utf-8")
```
Worth forwarding the patch upstream.
