None of these resulted in build bustage using our default configuration,
but apparently ccache builds were broken due to a bytes/text issue. Wish
the original reporter had mentioned he was using ccache, but he saved me
a lot of busywork. Changes appear safe across whole range of Python
versions we support.
More small tweaks mostly related to decoding/encoding, some not even related to
failures but are more anxiously done in anticipation of something going wrong.
Even though these are called commits, I often revise little things several
times because I am not sure what the most robust approach would be.

They actually had a fixer for this?! Anyway... yeah,
Py2 allowed tuple parameter unpacking. Py3 doesn't.
However, the adaptations are fairly mechanical.
