I don't understand what the issue is here.
I don't either, I have never used the -b flag until the issue was raised on bitbucket. If someone is testing a program with
reportlab and uses that flag then they get a lot of warnings from this dictionary assignment. Probably the code needs tightening
so that we insist on using native strings everywhere; that's quite hard for py2/3 compatible code.
