Bug ID: 6473
Summary: __index__.py is generated with str instead of bytes
Product: Mercurial
Version: 5.7rc0
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: bug
Priority: wish
Component: Mercurial
Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
Reporter: matt_harbi...@yahoo.com
CC: martinv...@gmail.com,

Python Version: ---
After building the py2 WiX packaging, `test-check-help.t` fails on py3 trying
to interpolate `str` into `bytes`. The reason being that the generated
`__index__.py` file is left around, which the extension code looks at first if
it exists to get a list of disabled extensions. The content of the file is
something like:
```
docs = {'absorb': 'apply working directory changes to changesets
(EXPERIMENTAL)',
...
}
```
It doesn't matter too much if it's only used for py2exe, but I thought there
was some work to use it for PyOxidizer binaries. I was able to fix it by
converting inside the extensions module where it is used, but it seems to me
that it should be generated with the right content. However, I wasn't able to
get the installer build to work when converting to have b'' prefixes.
