In python3 pexpect wants by default a BytesIO stream as log buffer.
Otherwise it will (silently masked since we just return false)
File "/usr/share/dpdk/test/autotest_runner.py", line 22, in wait_prompt
child.sendline()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pexpect/pty_spawn.py", line 555, in
sendline
return self.send(s + self.linesep)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pexpect/pty_spawn.py", line 543, in send
self._log(s, 'send')
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pexpect/spawnbase.py", line 126, in _log
self.logfile.write(s)
We have plenty of other code writing and using this buffer.
So instead of changing the type and modifying many more places we tell the
spawn [1] method to encode things right away - then the rest behaves as it
did with python2.
