Differences in Python 3
-----------------------

Python 3 makes a clear distinction between *str* for textual data
and *bytes* for binary data.
This affects the Standard Test Libraries and their Keywords:

- *str* arguments don't work where *bytes* are expected,
  like writing to binary file streams or comparing with other *bytes*.
- *bytes* don't work where *str* is expected,
  like writing to text mode streams or comparing with another *str*.
- Reading from binary streams always returns *bytes*.
- Reading from text streams always returns *str*.

You can use the following keywords to explicitly create *bytes*:

- **BuiltIn.Convert To Bytes**
- **String.Encode String To Bytes**

I extended **Process.Start Process** with a *binary_mode* argument.
By default the process streams are opened in text mode.
You can change this with::

    binary_mode=True

**Collections.Get Dictionary Keys** normally sorts the keys.
I disabled key sorting in Python 3,
because most builtin types are not comparable to each other.
This further affects **Get Dictionary Values** and **Get Dictionary Items**.
I still need to find a better solution... Maybe imitate Python 2 sorting?
Any suggestions? :)
