[ldns-users] Python3 / ldns_wire2pkt

[Christoph Egger]

Hi!

  For ldns.ldns_wire2pkt to work with Python3 one needs it to accept a
python byte object instead of a string. After a lot of fiddling around
the below patch seems to make it work. However iterationg [2] over rrs()
fails with [1] -- extracting the first one works fine.
