[DRBD-user] python-linstor, linstor-client 1.0.9 release

[Wolfgang Walkowiak]

Hi Rene et al,

I seem to have (preliminarily) fixed it by modifying line 373 in 
linstorapi.py as follows:

            # data = json.loads(resp_data)
            data = json.loads(resp_data.decode('utf-8'))

At least
# linstor r l
provides sensible output again.

Please check whether is the actual fix or just a work-around.

Thank you and cheers,

w.w.
