Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/py3k/Lib/imaplib.py", line 185, in __init__
    self.welcome = self._get_response()
  File "/py3k/Lib/imaplib.py", line 912, in _get_response
    if self._match(self.tagre, resp):
  File "/py3k/Lib/imaplib.py", line 1021, in _match
    self.mo = cre.match(s)
TypeError: can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object
