+# probably needs updating to work with Python 3's new string rules.
+#
+# In particular, Python 3 has a separate type (called byte) for
+# bytestrings, and a special b"" syntax for the byte literals; the old
+# str() type has been redefined to always store Unicode text.
+#
+# We probably can't do much about this until GDB get their act
+# together: <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17138>
