Hi,
I'm trying to store binary data in Python 3 to a ``LocalStorageDriver``
instance. If I upload data via ``upload_object`` from a file on disk and
then use ``download_object_as_stream`` I get a stream of bytes, as
expected. However, uploading a stream of bytes manually using
``upload_object_via_stream`` fails:
>>> container.upload_object_via_stream(io.BytesIO(b'foobar'), 'key')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

obj_file.write(data)
TypeError: must be str, not bytes
The problem seems to be that ``LocalStorageDriver`` opens the target
file for writing in text mode ('w') instead of binary mode ('wb').
I couldn't find any information on whether keys and values are supposed
to be (Unicode) strings or bytes (or both), so I am not sure whether
this is a bug in ``LocalStorageDriver`` or a misunderstanding on my side.
This is on Python 3.4 and LibCloud 0.17.0.

Torf
