Comment (by atagar):

 Uggg. I got more errors running the site with python2 so finally gave up
 and reinstalled lektor with python3. Unfortunately the 'b' I added in the
 open call broke the site for python3...

 {{{

 }}}

 I would suggest that rather than this patch we simply abort if the user is
 running python2. The site fails a few different, confusing ways so better
 to say upfront 'please run python3' rather than suggest that we support
 both python versions.
