Just remove them and do not comment them out when they are not needed anymore

The issue I have with this, is that it doesn't fix the root cause of the problem, the encoding issue. Instead a a bytesarray with non-UTF8, in Python3 you'll have a string object with non-UTF-8.

So imho the setting and the fix is still needed, the code needs to be made Python3 compliant (which is not easy if you don't know the source encoding).

In other images this has long been removed.

And that proves it is ok?
