This is fixed in later releases of the `dkimpy` library, specifically tested was 0.6.2 to see if it's fixed.
`dkimpy` in Python 3 on Xenial *does not work* as expected when calling `verify` on a signed message in bytes form. It also fails for 'string' form, because it tries to use bytes patterns on a string object.
This affects 0.5.6-1, but is fixed in Artful and 0.6.2 already. (I'd go version by version to find a fix, but I'm not that concerned since I've already made a backport of `python3-dkim` in a PPA[1].
As this breaks one of the crucial functions (message verification), I'm setting this as a "High" importance bug.
