[docs] [issue21580] PhotoImage(data=...) apparently has to be UTF-8 or Base-64 encoded

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Here is a patch which fixes passing Python bytes to Tcl in Python 3. However it will be not easy to fix this issue in Python 2.

See also issue21605 which adds tests for Tkinter images (some of them fails without this patch).
