Description

Seems like the string encoding handling wasn’t fully ported to the (much saner) Python 3 way of doing things:

amnesia@amnesia:~$ whisperback 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/whisperback", line 33, in <module>
    ui = whisperBack.WhisperBackUI()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/whisperBack/gui.py", line 145, in __init__
    self.backend = whisperBack.whisperback.WhisperBack()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/whisperBack/whisperback.py", line 108, in __init__
    self.__load_conf(os.path.join("/", "etc", "whisperback", "config.py"))
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/whisperBack/whisperback.py", line 145, in __load_conf
    exec(code, self.__dict__)
  File "<string>", line 76, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'bytes' and 'str'

Alan, I believe this is a regression brought by your porting work to Python 3 (Bug #7755). Worst case I’ll deal with it, but if you have a few hours to put into it this week, I certainly would not mind; if that’s the case, please reassign this ticket to you before you start working, so that we avoid duplicated work.

I got a fix locally, will push with a few other changes as soon as I’ve tested in a real build.
