In both Python 2 and 3, opening a file without specifying the mode will
open it for reading in text mode ('r').
On Python 2, the read() method of a file object opened in mode 'r' will
return byte strings, while on Python 3 it will return unicode strings.
Explicitly specifying the binary mode ('rb') then decoding the byte
string means we always handle unicode strings on both Python 2 and 3.
Which in turns means all re.match(line) will return unicode strings as
well.
If we also make expandCString return unicode strings, we don't need the
call to the unicode() constructor any more.
We were using the ugettext() method because it always returns unicode
strings in Python 2, contrarily to the gettext() one which returns
byte strings. The ugettext() method doesn't exist on Python 3, so we
must use the right method on each version of Python.
The last hurdles are that Python 3 doesn't let us concatenate unicode
and byte strings directly, and that Python 2's stdout wants encoded byte
strings while Python 3's want unicode strings.
With these changes, the script gives the same output on both Python 2
and 3.

The latter is a constructor for file objects, but when actually opening
a file, using the former is more idiomatic.
In addition, file() is not a builtin any more in Python 3, so this makes
the script compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3.

Python 3 lost the dict.has_key() method. Instead it requires using the
"in" operator.
This is also compatible with Python 2.

In Python 2, `print` was a statement, but it became a function in
Python 3.
Using print functions everywhere makes the script compatible with Python
versions >= 2.6, including Python 3.
