Thanks Joseph, that was exactly what I was looking for, I remembered
something like this when you worked on the py3 compatibility. The code
in the REST API now works for me with python2 (with the modified patch
from John) and I suppose John will test again with Py3. We should have
tests that do an end-to-end test with various encodings of the REST
API...
