Build fails with UUID in permalink (Py3k)

[dmdm]

In a Python 3.2 virtual env, building the site fails when permalink uses UUID (e.g. blog.auto_permalink.path = ":blog_path/:uuid"). Traceback is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return _compile(pattern, flags).sub(repl, string, count)
TypeError: sequence item 1: expected str instance, bytes found

Proposed solution:

Function bf_blog_src/blogofile_blog/site_src/_controllers/blog/post.py::create_guid() currently returns the GUID as bytes which breaks the RegEx later on.
Maybe we simply can convert the GUID to string, assuming the bytes are ASCII:

return base64.urlsafe_b64encode(hashlib.sha1(to_hash).digest()).decode('ascii')

Thanks for spotting this. create_guid() is for sure an ugly bit of code. I think you are right that it should be able to return a string.

On my list to fix before 0.8 release.

Since this is actually a blogofile_blog issue, it will be tracked and resolved at EnigmaCurry/blogofile_blog#14.
