status changed from new to assigned

Seems to work OK as of:

r20805: use byte strings everywhere (no matter what python / cython version is used)

r20806: chars vs uint8_t

r20808: don't use "array" module at all

Wed, 24 Oct 2018 08:13:41 GMT - Antoine Martin: status changed; resolution set

status changed from assigned to closed

resolution set to fixed

Backport to v2.4 in r20810.
