FWIW this code is important for very old versions of lyx, older than 1.1.5 (released 19 years ago - 2000/06/06).
Funny fact of the day, byte strings do not behave as regular strings in python3 when taking and index.
To get a sub-string we need to pass a range, a integer index will not work as it happens in a regular string:
$ ipython3
...
In [30]: line
Out[30]: b'#This file was created by <mike> Tue Jan 25 10:36:51 2000'
In [31]: line[0]
Out[31]: 35
In [32]: line[0:1]
Out[32]: b'#'
The range notations works for both byte and regular strings in python 3, and it also works in python 2.
Thus the change is simple and effective. In any case I should confess that I was quite surprised by this. :-)

Tested cases are now handled fine.
(There are still many cases where the language support emulation
is too complex for lyx2lyx and manual fixes are required after
lyx2lyx conversion.)
The algorithm in [c9be8bff74b233/lyxgit] did not
account for layout nesting. As a result, some parentheses
were swapped in English text parts
(e.g. around "(for Linux)" in he/Intro.lyx).
In the lines specifying the font, e.g.
\font_typewriter "DejaVuSansMono" "DejaVu Sans Mono"
the system font specs may contain words separated by spaces
If get_containing_layout() finds a layout without name,
it will return an empty string as layoutname.
Calling functions can thus differentiate between missing
\begin_layout and missing layoutname and give a more specific
response or warning.
For some .lyx files with long tables, this fix reduces the
differences in LaTeX export of master, compared to LaTeX export of
the lyx2lyx exported file. Further, this export fixes the lyx2lyx
roundtrip convergence for these cases. For discussion, see:

This uses the InsetArgument interface to provide access to a document
part hitherto inaccessible by LyX: the part between \begin and the first
\item in a list (where lengths and counters can be redefined, for
instance).
Fixes: #11098
File format change, layout format change
This returns a localized version of a string (in the GUI language)
if available, removing trailing colons and accelerator marks.
This can be used to refer to dialog items in the docs in a portable way.
The preamble handling needs to know, which package belongs to
which font-type
* The conversion is now independent of the sequence in the preamble
This is important for instance, if the user created the preamble manually
With this commit, info insets leave the dark backstage room of an opaque
and quite hidden dev-only feature and come frontstage.
In the UI, they present themselves as "Fields" since this is what people
know from word processors. Other user-related fields that could be
implemented next: time, user name (I plan to do that for 2.4).
Since this supersedes date-insert, I removed Insert > Date from
the menu and propose to ditch date-insert and the corresponding rc.
The lyx2lyx reversion routine has lots of room for improvement and
attractive tasks for pythons (file timestamp, switch of localization).
Please feel invited!
This is a file format change.
This effectively enables linebreaks, multipars and layout changes in
non-fixed width (i.e., standard) table columns.
Fixes: #6577
TODO: metrics are wrong (too wide) on screen with linebreaks.
This is an extra command used for sidenote citations. Since we do not
provide \cite with natbib (which tufte uses) as a choice, we use the
new AddToCiteEngine feature to add it.
File format change.
Fixes: #11150
It is now possible in the float settings (doc dialog) to specify a global
(inner) alignment for floats, and in the float settings, this can be
overridden (just as with float placement)
Fixes: #8665
File format change.
This revives a ten year old idea (and patch) by Dov.
You can now mark in the character dialog text and exclude it from spell
checking.
Fixes: #1042
File format change
Remaining issue: The instant spell checking marks are not immediately
removed, but only after some editing.
The objective is to identify common operations and place them
in functions in order to improve the readability and correctness of the code.
is_document_option(document, option):
Find if _option_ is a document option (\\options in the header).
insert_document_option(document, option):
Insert _option_ as a document option.
remove_document_option(document, option):
Remove _option_ as a document option.
Following a request by Günter, we consider the document fonts (only rm
for now) when selecting an appropriate font encoding.
See #9741
The new default font encoding setting "auto" does
* consider the font encoding needed by the language(s), which can now
have fallback alternatives
* Consider which font encoding is provided by the document font
Thus, cm now will result in OT1 fontenc, if the language can deal with
that.
The font_enc pref is ditched: it is no longer needed.
The automatism is still very basic and is subject to extension.
File format and prefs format change.
Use the command as defined by Babel. This allows us to use the (more
advanced) Babel command if provided instead of rolling our own.
I add a dummy file format change in case it turns out we need to
do something here for old documents (e.g. with user preamble definitions)
Don't insert empty line when translating QuoteInsets to literal
quotes.
Fix regexp pattern in re/convert_dashligatures.
Adjust logic in re/convert_dash(ligatur)es.
* use unicode.transform() instead of loop over replacements
* telling variable names
* remove trailing whitespace
* documentation update
* don't set use_ligature_dashes if both dash types are found
* remove spurious warning, normalize indentation, and use
Python idioms in revert_baselineskip()
