[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/2] python: improved UTF8 decoding error handling

[Matteo Cafasso]

The Python 3 bindings currently are unable to deal with non UTF8 characters.
This series continues what proposed in RHBZ#1406906.

A new function 'set_decode_error_handler' allows the User to specify
how to deal with decoding errors.

The default behaviour will be raising a UnicodeDecodeError.
If the handler is changed to 'surrogateescape', non UTF8 characters will be escaped
in a similar manner as for Python 2.

See PEP383 for reference.

This series fixes also a bug introduced in commit 9d25b4e56471f9c33ea6229a8b620fc800c240f8.
