Good point. Yes, it should (I thought that it already was) specially in order 
to be consistent with all the other code that already does that.

The issue is that in Python 2 str (string type) does not has an encoding 
associated, later there was a new string type (unicode) where the string has 
an encode associated.
In Python 3 strings become encoding aware and the previous strings were 
renamed bytes. So b"..." (bytes string) is a no-op in Python 2, because it 
corresponds to "...". Similarly u"..." (unicode string) is a no-op in Python 3 
since it corresponds to "...".

If you want I can take care of that, in 2.4, and see if there are cases where 
the conversion is missing.

@Riki: is it possible to have a layout file such that the encoding is not 
utf-8?
