In Debian testing offlineimap plain authentication over SSL started to fail for

TypeError: sequence item 2: expected str instance, bytes found
The server in question has a valid letsencrypt certificate, which I can use and
authenticate fine with other clients.
Not sure if the problem is actually in offlineimap or in imaplib2, but no
relevant bugs seems to be reported against the latter either.
Thanks for maintaining offlineimap,
Cheers
