breaks get_file under python3: bytes objects are serialized as integer arrays

[Marco M]

Not sure if this should be reported under heatclient or oslo.serialization:

    heat_template_version: 2014-10-16
    resources:
      xyz:
        type: "OS::Heat::SoftwareConfig"
        properties:
          group: script
          config:
            get_file: myscript.sh

The result is

    DEBUG (session) REQ: curl -g -i -X POST ...... "files": {"file:///path/to/myscript.sh": [35, 33, 47, 98, 105...

Therefore, an exception is raised

  heatclient.exc.HTTPBadRequest: ERROR: Property error : xyz: config Value must be a string

What's the code path in oslo.serialization for this heat python client command line? in other words, which oslo.serialization API is causing this issue?

This bugs is almost a year old - is there any chance of progressing it ? It's crippling my ability to use the HEAT client on windows.
