Connection Problem with Python 2.7 and 2016.0.0a2 Release

[PChild]

Started testing possibly using on our NVIDIA Jetson and am getting this error. Testing with other machines also throws this error with Python 2.7, but everything works with Python 3.5. Any ideas how I can fix this? I can add any additional information that may be useful.

Do you require LabVIEW support? If not, do:

pip install pynetworktables==2015.3.2

Probably you have an old version of pip, and it installed the alpha version by accident.

Hi, yes, we are using Labview. I intentionally installed the alpha per discussion on Chief Delphi.

Sat down and finally fixed this, it (of course) was a difference in the way that python2 and 3 handled bytes... so I wrapped it in a bytearray and they're both happy. Added some unit tests for good measure, and tested python 2 and 3 against SmartDashboard.
