<p>Lorenzo Ennoggi just encountered an issue with simfactory where it fails with an utf-8 decoding error due to an invalid utf-8 character in Cactus' output stream in simfactory/lib/simrestart.py line 1016:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span>out_txt = out_read.read()</span>
</pre></div>
<p>then can probably be avoided by ensuring that we read and write "byte" objects (and use binary file IO) rather than "strings".</p>
