[issue21431] 3.4.1rc1 test_pydoc fails: pydoc_data.topics.topics values are type "bytes" not "str"

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily added the comment:

The problem is in PydocTopicsBuilder in Doc/tools/sphinxext/pyspecific.py.  It needs to be smarter so that ideally it should continue to work with any Python >= 2.5 and independent of the Python being built.
