Python 2.7.5: Struct() argument 1 must be string, not unicode about dtfabric

FWIW, removing from __future__ import unicode_literals from runtime/byte_operations.py and runtime/data_maps.py seems to let me use plaso successfully with Python 2.7.5

@ericzinnikas thx for the suggestion, however with python 2 prior to 2.10 containing various ssl related bugs and the expected end of life of python 2 in 2020, I really would encourage using a more recent version of python.

[ericzinnikas]

Yup! Just using that to tide me over until we upgrade.

With the Python 2 deprecation on the horizon and 2.7.5 being really, REALLY, REALLY out dated (Python 2.7.5 was released on May 15, 2013). This issue will not be fixed. Leaving it open for now, as an FYI.

Python 2 is end of life, closing issue
