bpython-urwid fails with Python 3.3.1 #243
Description
After building and installing bpython from Mercurial, I get the following when I try to run bpython-urwid:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bpython-urwid", line 9, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/bpython/urwid.py", line 969, in prompt
caption = ('prompt', self.ps1.decode('ascii'))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
From some searching, I found that str.decode() support was removed from Python starting with version 3.2.
Kind regards,
