+Subject: [PATCH 7/8] Python3 compatibility: unicode to str
+
+Commit 7430959d4ad17db89b8387c3aef58c8b230cad10 from
+https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs.git
+
+When transitioning from python2 to python3 the following type class
+changes occured:
+
+python2 -> python3
+unicode -> str
+str -> bytes
+
+That means we have to check the python version and do the right type
+check python3 will throw an error when it tries to use the unicode
+type because it doesn't exist.
