The agent stop function will write a byte string 'a' to the pipe
as a signal for the run function to end process.
The run function is expecting a literal string.
In python 2.x the byte string will automatically be converted to
literal, while python 3.x won't do the conversion, causing the
process to never stop.
This patch will fix that behavior, allowing the IPA to correctly
stop using python 3.x.
