Comment (by mlennert):
I think this is a classical case of it being better not to mess around
with the original byte string. All we do is taking a string from an
environment variable, adding two new path elements and putting it back
into another environment variable:
{{{
addon_base = os.getenv('GRASS_ADDON_BASE')
[...]
addons_man_path = os.path.join(addon_base, 'docs', 'man')
os.environ['MANPATH'] = to_text_string(addons_man_path)
}}}
Do we really have to worry about encoding/decoding in that context ?
