Generated cobertura xml is wrapped into b'...'

[nbauma109]

it's generating a xml between b' and ' such as this :

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
b'<coverage ... </coverage>'

instead of :

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<coverage ... </coverage>

The fix worked like a charm for me. Thanks and hopefully it gets merged for everyone else.

Any movement on getting this merged? Think this branch is the new master for anyone using this.
