Title:
  [py3] bug.addAttachment() causes UnicodeEncodeError with binary data

Status in lazr.restfulclient package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  While porting Apport to python3-launchpadlib, I stumbled over the
  inability to attach binary data to a bug:

  $ python3 /tmp/test.py
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/tmp/test.py", line 15, in <module>
      is_patch=False)

      body = body.encode('iso-8859-1')
  UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 1217-1218: ordinal not in range(256)

  When I call the same with python 2, it works fine. Note that this is a
  write operation, so this needs to use login_with() and credentials. So
  you might want to change the credentials_file= argument in the
  reproducer or drop it completely (then you'll have to log in every
  time you run the reproducer).
