PCANBasicExample_py3.pyw freeze initialization when CANFD with Python3 , have solution.

[Pe3ucTop]

Hello PEAK-Systems.

I tried to use Python3 PCANBasic Example and find it freeze at Initialize when CAN-FD is selected.
I do a bit research and find that problem is in initialization Bitrate string.
In python3 all string are unicode, but to c_dll need pass bytestring, so line:

Code: Select all

result =  self.m_objPCANBasic.InitializeFD(self.m_PcanHandle, self.m_BitrateTXT.get())

need be replaced to

Code: Select all

result =  self.m_objPCANBasic.InitializeFD(self.m_PcanHandle, self.m_BitrateTXT.get().encode())

there could be other similar problems if strings are passed to "c" functions from python3 .
Please update example.
