#3811: grass.lib.gis.G_getenv returns bytes in Python 3
--------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  pmav99  |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal  |  Milestone:  7.8.0
Component:  Python  |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:          |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  All     |
--------------------+-------------------------
 {{{grass.lib.gis.G_getenv}}} returns bytes in Python 3. Consequently code
 that expects the return value to be {{{str}}} is failing. E.g.
 https://grass.osgeo.org/grass77/manuals/libpython/_modules/pygrass/gis.html#Mapset.is_current
 (btw, there are no tests for {{{is_current}}}).

 There are tests for {{{G_getenv}}}, but they are also failing:
 {{{lib/gis/testsuite/gis_lib_env_test.py}}}
