New submission from Vincent Michel:
Calling `config_parser.read` with `'test'` is equivalent to:
config_parser.read(['test'])
while calling `config_parser.read` with `b'test'` is treated as:
config_parser.read([116, 101, 115, 116])
which means python will try to open the file descriptors 101, 115 and 116.
I don't know if byte path should be supported, but this is probably not the
expected behavior.
The method code:
