  File "/usr/bin/gsettings-schema-convert", line 606

Thanks, the exception change makes sense, why did you do that bit though

- fout.write(output)
+ fout.write(str(output))

things seem to work without and lead to the same result?

I forget exactly what the error message was, but I think it was the difference between whatever output is, and that write wanted a bytestring. -- it's possibl;e that should be fout.write(unicode(output))...

the error is that output must be string for fout.write() function, since the file is opened in "text" mode (aka unicode)

I've opted to stay bi-lingual, and instead open the file in binary mode.

I'm sorry, I did not notice this bug report and patch, and already uploaded a fix for this =(

however i believe wily is affected and this should be SRUed.
