[3.7] closes bpo-34056: Always return bytes from _HackedGetData.get_data(). (GH-8130) by miss-islington · Pull Request #8146 · python/cpython
…pythonGH-8130) * Always return bytes from _HackedGetData.get_data(). Ensure the imp.load_source shim always returns bytes by reopening the file in binary mode if needed. Hash-based pycs have to receive the source code in bytes. It's tempting to change imp.get_suffixes() to always return 'rb' as a mode, but that breaks some stdlib tests and likely 3rdparty code, too.
