Great! Now, as all our webtest fixes are released upstream, I plan to 
make an alpha release of what we've done so far. If you have any 
outstanding issues with new testbrowser, please report.

Thanks, I've fixed the testbrowser according to your testcase.

The idea is to make testbrowser to return/accept native strings instead 
of bytes/unicode for both py2 and py3. Under py2, controls will return 
str objects (for backwards compatibility), and under py3 that would be 
unicode strings (for usage convenience).
