Iterating through the IC causes an unusual TypeError

[kyrieb-ekat]

On Iteration 1 in the Interactive Classifier, using training data produced by a previous run, an odd error is produced:

TypeError: ‘<’ not supported between instances of ‘bytes’ and ‘str’

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/celery/app/trace.py", line 412, in trace_task
    R = retval = fun(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/celery/app/trace.py", line 704, in __protected_call__
    return self.run(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/code/Rodan/rodan/jobs/base.py", line 773, in run
    retval = self.run_my_task(inputs, settings, arg_outputs)
  File "/code/Rodan/rodan/jobs/interactive_classifier/wrapper.py", line 160, in run_my_task
    serialize_data(settings)
  File "/code/Rodan/rodan/jobs/interactive_classifier/interactive_classifier.py", line 316, in serialize_data
    settings['class_names_json'] = serialize_class_names_to_json(settings)
  File "/code/Rodan/rodan/jobs/interactive_classifier/interactive_classifier.py", line 302, in serialize_class_names_to_json
    return json.dumps(sorted(list(name_set)))
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'bytes' and 'str'

This has happened on both staging and production, and was encountered by @JoyfulGen in her runs as well.

This is preventing the further training of the IC, which hinders large scale processing through the NIC for the Bach Project.

Fixed. Now waiting for staging to be updated.
