Description:
The Binary-singleton defined in the module mysql.connector.dbapi should be bytes, not str for Python v3.x.

How to repeat:
shell> python3
>>> import mysql.connector
>>> mysql.connector.Binary
<class 'str'>

Suggested fix:
Change in python3/mysql/connector/dbapi.py:
  Binary = str
to
  Binary = bytes
