 Just avoid using string formatting for such trivial cases, e.g.:

 {{{
 args.append(opt.encode('ascii') + b'=' + _make_val(val)
 }}}

 To be honest, converting grass.script to Python 3 isn't going to be much
 fun, as a scripting library fundamentally revolves around dealing with
 byte strings (command-line arguments, environment variables,
 stdin/stdout), while Python 3 tries to pretend that byte strings are some
 kind of low-level implementation detail in a world where everything is
 Unicode.
