The bytes constructor in Python 3 requires you to provide an encoding
(utf-8, ascii, latin-1, koi8, etc) when passing in a string, otherwise
it doesn't know what bytes you want and refuses to guess.  You could
fix this by adding `encoding='ascii'` to the bytes() call–but I'm not
certain that that would work in 2.7, and there's a much easier method,
noted later.

> And why the reference to only
> the last line of the string?

Because the traceback would be huge if it included the entire function
call, and there's no need to.  You can find the error from just that
line.  It would be arguably more useful to show the first line, but
that's more difficult to do.

> I am at a loss here.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What you need here is a bytes literal, which is accomplished by
prepending a 'b' to the string literal.   Your `encoded_icon = """\`
just needs to become `encoded_icon = b"""\`.  See here [1] for more
information.

bytes do have the buffer interface, so I expect that using bytes instead
