python: Convert terminal escape sequences to strings.

In python 3, the curses escape sequences are bytes objects and not
strings, making them unsuitable to concatenate to strings which are
being print()-ed. This uses the decode() method to turn them from bytes
objects into string objects, assuming they represent UTF-8. In python
2, bytes objects and strings are treated interchangeably, and so this
isn't necessary.
