Can't read pdf about pypdf

[mstamy2]

There's still some progress to be made with Python 3 compatibility; mainly with TypeErrors like this. Thanks for reporting this - we'll work on resolving it.

Does commit df71130 solve the issue for you?

yes now i get a problem with a other file but for the previous file it works -> same code as before

File: hausaufgabe08.pdf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 8, in <module>
    foo = PdfFileReader(open(file,"rb"))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/PyPDF2/pdf.py", line 684, in __init__
    self.read(stream)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/PyPDF2/pdf.py", line 1236, in read
    streamData = StringIO(xrefstream.getData())
TypeError: initial_value must be str or None, not bytes

I believe commit 00b9677 solves that issue. There should be only a few Python 3 bugs left; don't hesitate to report them.
