* fix 'APIC Error 403: padding check failed' in python3
With python2 the APIC-Request-Signature is filled in correctly
APIC-Request-Signature=aAvxASu...
But with python3 the string format method seems to
add the encoding to the output, causing a padding error:
APIC-Request-Signature=b'lFmHWvwW4dr...
Reproduce:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import base64
a = base64.b64encode(b'\u0001')
b = '%s' % a
print(b)
