Tried to set up PyBOMBS with Python 3.6 and got the following error:
address@hidden ~]$ pybombs recipes add-defaults
PyBOMBS - INFO - PyBOMBS Version 2.3.3a0
Traceback (most recent call last):

return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string)
TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object
so, I added the following in /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pybombs/fetchers/git.py, in get_git_version():
subprocess.check_output(['git', '--version']).decode('ascii')
TypeError is gone, but I am not sure if this is all it takes to make PyBOMBS work properly on Python3.
