[Python-modules-team] Bug#789178: python3-html2text's html2markdown won't run

[Jason Woofenden]

Package: python3-html2text
Version: 2014.9.25-1
Severity: normal

To reproduce:

	> echo "<h1>hi</h1>" | html2markdown
	Traceback (most recent call last):
  	  File "/usr/bin/html2markdown", line 9, in <module>
    	load_entry_point('html2text==2014.9.25', 'console_scripts', 'html2text')()
  	  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/html2text/__init__.py", line 1083, in main
    	data = data.decode(encoding)
	AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
	zsh: done       echo -E "<h1>hi</h1>" |
	zsh: exit 1     html2markdown


Note that this only happens with the python3 version of this
package. When I remove python3-html2text and install
python-html2text, it works fine:

	echo "<h1>hi</h1>" | html2markdown
	# hi
