As the title says ...
Problem/discussion/patch is here:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/webiopi/-GqmiJdPo2g/5AibryoT\_A8J
Workaround:
.../python/webiopi/clients/__init__.py
change line 43 from :
self.auth = "Basic " + encodeCredentials(login, password)
to :
self.auth = b'Basic ' + encodeCredentials(login, password)
As Python 2 just ignores the b'something' this patch will not cause problems for Python 2 clients.
However, this patch just cures the symptoms for now, maybe the final bugfix is better suited in crypto.py or somewhere else.
