>>> out = Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=PIPE).stdout

>>> out.close()
>>> result = RE_VERSION.search(out_string)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

That works, thanks. Then there's was still one more problem, _dotblas.c was
not py3k ready. With this fix I can build everything under Wine:

Does that look fine?
