Hmm, it looks like we're treating a byte array as a string (i.e. missing
decoding) and that doesn't work. Likely this broke during the Python3
migration, and since there are a number of different code paths in
recipetool's python handling code our relatively simplistic automated tests
didn't hit it. I have a fix here and will send it out soon.


Just a hint. Something like this also happens when using the "devtool add".
