Package: python3-pydot
Version: 1.0.28-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
when runing the following code a TypeError is raised, this error is
related to Python3-Support. A transscript follows:
>>> import pydot
>>> a=pydot.Dot()
>>> a.create()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pydot.py", line 2003, in create
stdout_output = ''.join(stdout_output)
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, bytes found
I have fixed this problem with the the applied patch.
Perhaps this patch find it's way into the upstream project.
Best Regards,
Olaf Ohlenmacher

Subject: [PATCH] fix joining of byte objects
Function create() is working with bytes object from sys.stout.read()
calls. These calls return byte objects which now will be handled
correctly under Python3.
Fix function description.
Add some comments clearify the object types.
