By default in Python 3, check_output() returns a program's output as
an encoded byte sequence. This means it returns a Py3 `bytes` object,
which cannot be compared to a string since it's a different fundamental
type.
Although it might not be correct from a purist standpoint, from a
practical one we can assume that all output is encoded in the default
locale, in which case using universal_newlines=True will decode it
according to the current locale. Anyway, universal_newlines also
has the nice behavior that it converts \r\n to \n on Windows platforms
so this makes parsing code easier, should we need that. So it seems
like a win/win.
