That looks definitely related to python3 port.  The 'str' type
is expected to always be encoded utf-8, so it is not possible to
decode an from any other encodings anymore.  Quick and easy (and
also probably deemed wrong) option would be to assume utf-8 and
just strip the decoding step.  A more correct option would be to
work with 'bytes' type which can be decoded from more arbitrary
streams using its 'decode' method; from the quick glimpse I had
in the corresponding file, I didn't get a precise idea how to
implement that unfortunately.

In hope this helps anyway,
