[Python-modules-team] Bug#939084: BytesWarning: Comparison between bytes and string

[Teddy Hogeborn]

Package: python3-urwid
Version: 2.0.1-2+b1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

When running an urwid program using "/usr/bin/python3 -b" (note the -b
option), the urwid package triggered a warning:

[...]
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urwid/display_common.py", line 760, in stop
    self._stop()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urwid/curses_display.py", line 147, in _stop
    self.tty_signal_keys(*self._old_signal_keys)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urwid/display_common.py", line 700, in tty_signal_keys
    if intr == 'undefined': intr = 0
BytesWarning: Comparison between bytes and string

I would expect a Python 3 module such as python3-urwid to be able to
run (when the -b option to python3 is used) without generating such
warnings.
