Description of problem:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1661871 and https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/0ee02e0117527b86a31b2a88a14994ce7f15571f changed the return type of the read_file libguestfs API within their python bindings from a string to bytes.

$ openstack server create --image fedora32 --flavor m1.medium --password redhat --network private test
Actual results:
Instance spawns correctly but password isn't set.
Expected results:
Instance spawns with password correctly set.
