Python 3 config path TypeError: expected bytes, str found

[joshughes]

With python3 I am seeing the following issue...

    options = ZWaveOption(
        config[DOMAIN].get(CONF_USB_STICK_PATH, DEFAULT_CONF_USB_STICK_PATH),
        user_path=hass.config.config_dir,
        config_path=str(config[DOMAIN].get('config_path',
                                       DEFAULT_ZWAVE_CONFIG_PATH),))

  File "/home/homeassistant/.pyenv/versions/3.4.2/lib/python3.4/site-packages/openzwave-0.3.0b8-py3.4.egg/openzwave/option.py", line 76, in __init__
    libopenzwave.PyOptions.__init__(self, config_path=config_path, user_path=user_path, cmd_line=cmd_line)
  File "libopenzwave.pyx", line 579, in libopenzwave.PyOptions.__init__ (src-lib/libopenzwave/libopenzwave.cpp:6874)
  File "libopenzwave.pyx", line 582, in libopenzwave.PyOptions.create (src-lib/libopenzwave/libopenzwave.cpp:6966)
TypeError: expected bytes, str found

I compiled from source using the INSTALL_ARCH.txt method.

I have compiled from source multiple times and can't seem to actually get this to work... I am wondering if it my be a CYthon issue.

The Cython version is...

Cython (0.22)

I also tried to compile from the master branch and not using that INSTALL_ARCH.txt method... It installed but I see the exact same issue.

I was able to fork the repo and hack my way through this.

I don't think this is PR worthy because i don't think it will support python 2 and 3. Hopefully it gives someone some idea of what is going on though... basically I replaced anything with string(s) with str.encode(s) and added a few methods I found from the following threads.

I don't think this is an issue with Cython 0.23 thanks to some fixes they made in that version. With Cython 0.23 and Python 3.4, the python3 branch compiles just fine without the changes @joshughes made here once the changes suggested in #10 are made.

EDIT: Nevermind: mine compiled but did not run. @joshughes changes got it running for me. Cool.

I ran exactly into the same issue as @joshughes today.
I compiled from source using the INSTALL_ARCH.txt method too.

Hi @davidkuehner, I saw your comment on my blog. Try running git checkout python3 before building and you might get around this issue.

Sould be fixed. Python3 related
