I am getting a TypeError message when running "rebuild_index" with django-haystack about pysolr HOT 3 CLOSED

I am having same issue

• Python 3.3.5
• Solr 4.8.1
• pysolor 3.2.0
  (not using Django at all)

This also happened when pysolr was trying to construct pysolr.SolrError from a call to .add()
In my case the exception was
4001ERROR: [doc=1434957838] unknown field 'pubplace'400

This exception is handled perfectly fine in Python 2.7.3

However, when I run the same code in Python 3.3.5 I get
File "/fast/dev/solr2/solrPush.py", line 22, in Process
self.solr.add([doc.docFields])
File "/tools/python/python3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pysolr.py", line 779, in add
return self._update(m, commit=commit, waitFlush=waitFlush, waitSearcher=waitSearcher)
File "/tools/python/python3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pysolr.py", line 387, in _update
return self._send_request('post', path, message, {'Content-type': 'text/xml; charset=utf-8'})
File "/tools/python/python3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pysolr.py", line 318, in _send_request
error_message = self._extract_error(resp)
File "/tools/python/python3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pysolr.py", line 397, in _extract_error
reason, full_html = self._scrape_response(resp.headers, resp.content)
File "/tools/python/python3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pysolr.py", line 467, in _scrape_response
full_html = full_html.replace('\n', '')
TypeError: expected bytes, bytearray or buffer compatible object

This says to me that the is a Python 3 string problem hiding in pysolr::scrape_response.

you have to specify the core like:

solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:8080/solr/core', timeout=10)
