Subject: [PATCH] Fix for "Type str doesn't support the buffer API"
subprocess.check_output("mongod --version",shell=True) returns a byte
string so to convert it to a regular string we should do this :
mongo_version_string = subprocess.check_output("mongod
--version",shell=True)
mongo_version_string = mongo_version_string.decode(encoding='UTF-8')
