Description Humberto Ibarra 2016-07-01 20:47:16 UTC 
Issuing 'yocto-bsp help create' throws the following output:

  File "/home/humberto/poky-test43/scripts/lib/bsp/help.py", line 67, in invoke_subcommand
    yocto_help(args, main_command_usage, subcommands)
  File "/home/humberto/poky-test43/scripts/lib/bsp/help.py", line 54, in yocto_help
    if len(args) == 1 or not display_help(args[1], subcommands):
  File "/home/humberto/poky-test43/scripts/lib/bsp/help.py", line 45, in display_help
    pager.communicate(help)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 943, in communicate
    self.stdin.write(input)
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
(END)[humberto@jhibarra-MOBL1 build]$ 


Also after exiting pager, the terminal is messed and needs to be closed.
