New submission from Ulrich Dorsch:
TypeError: startswith first arg must be str or a tuple of str, not bytes
In line 558 of plistlib.py at the beginnging of def _is_fmt_xml(header) is
the problem, caused by the use of the byte arguments defined in line 555
(prefixes = (b'?xml', b'plist')).
Similar Problem in line 572:
header.startswith(bom). bom is of type bytes.
FIX: change the definition to:
line 555: prefixes = ('?xml', 'plist')
line 572: header.startswith(str(bom))
Remaining problem is:
TypeError: read() did not return a bytes object (type=str)
This occurs in the parser object generated by ParserCreate() from
xml.parsers.expat
I stopped there with tracing / resolving the problem.
