Description

Trying out Metasearch here on current QGIS3 master, using the 'View search results as XML' give the error you see in the screenshot.

Probably something to do with python3 handling strings?

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str' 
Traceback (most recent call last):

Richard: thanks for the info. Looks like MetaSearch needs a Python 2 to 3 migration.

Hi Tom,

A fresh compile/install today I get a owslib not found error. I thought that was included isn't it? I'm not aware of the need to install it separate?

ImportError: No module named 'owslib'

Not anymore. In qgis3 we only have `pyspatialite` in python/ext-libs - because our targets (for debian/ubuntu and osgeo4w) have more update version of the previously shipped internal copies and didn't use those anyway. Support in 2.18 was also trimmed, but has some more as that still supports jessie/trusty, which don't contain some of the dependencies or older dependencies than our internal copies.
