bulkImport_json errors due to encoding issue: Use body.encode('utf-8') if you want to send it encoded in UTF-8.

[flmc-mikejones]

Code to reproduce:

def BulkJSONImport():
    conn = Connection(arangoURL=arango_url, username=arango_username, password=arango_password, verbose=True)
    try:
        db = conn["master"]
        print("DB is connected: ", db)
    except:
        db = conn.createDatabase(name="master")
        print("DB is created: ", db)
    try:
        collection = db["parts"]
        print("Collection is selected:", collection)
    except:
        partCollection = db.createCollection(name="parts")
        collection = db["parts"]
        print("Collection is created: ", collection)
    collection.bulkImport_json('parts.json', onDuplicate='error')
    conn.disconnectSession()

Error looks like this:

Collection is selected: ArangoDB collection name: parts, id: 12078225, type: document, status: loaded

The JSON in this case can be easily imported using the Arango Web UI or the import tools. I can't find anything wrong with the JSON file.
