this is a quick workaround for a problem introduced in the Draft select plane procedure while refactoring the code. not sure it is the best fix though.
The OpenSCAD Workbench crashes on open on macOS with error
"a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'", due to python 2 to
python 3 incompatibility. This is me implementing the fix described by
oapa at
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=35384#p311908 (with an
untested attempt to make it also still run with python 2).
