Running epylint on Python 3.2 fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/epylint", line 3, in
epylint.Run()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/pylint/epylint.py", line 161, in Run
sys.exit(lint(sys.argv[1]))
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/pylint/epylint.py", line 96, in lint
if line.startswith("No config file found"):
TypeError: startswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not str

I am attaching a small fix that seems to work for me.

I think a better fix is to add universal_newlines = True to the Popen call.

I've commited a cset to use universal_newlines on epylint Popen calls.
