[New-bugs-announce] [issue20900] distutils register command should print text, not bytes repr

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo:

“python3 setup.py register --show-response“ will display something like "----------b'xxx'----------".  The HTTP response body should be decoded to text for display, instead of the repr of a bytes object.

Setting the “easy” keyword: thanks to unittest.mock, writing a test for this should not be hard, and with a test we can have the confidence to change the code.
