Describe the bug
getting error with python 3.7 on debian sid.

working well with python 2.
tried to checkout nightly and getting the same error.

I'm trying to figure out how this comes about... have you set the following?

[ASCII]
    convert = 1

I have made a slight change to the char replace. Are you able to update to latest nightly and test?
