python 3 incompatibility: passing custom format

[spapanik]

passing custom format leads to an error in python3:

@ $ jira-cli view -6029 --format="%key"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/venv/bin/jira-cli", line 11, in
sys.exit(cli())

I encounter the same issue unfortunately.

When I make this change:

                     fix_versions = ", ".join(v.name for v in issue.get('fixVersions', []))

                 else:

             return ret_str
         if mode >= 0:
             # minimal

Things start to move a bit. At least there is some output.

This works:
jira-cli view --search-jql='resolution = Unresolved ORDER BY key' --format='%key,%summary,%status,%priority,%assignee,%reporter,%created,%updated'

Although the output starts with: b'

Any python guru that can solve this???

When %labels is added to the format string, the output states;

  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/jiracli/bridge/__init__.py", line 68, in format_issue
    ret_str = ret_str.decode('unicode-escape').replace(k, issue.setdefault(v.lower(),"")).encode('utf-8')
TypeError: replace() argument 2 must be str, not list

How to add, '%issue type' and '%prio-customer' to the format string?

With %prio-customer, the output will be:
..................,-customer

And with '%issue type', the output is similar:
.................., type

It would be very useful to have the --format argument working for python > 3.4!
And to be able to specify %labels, %prio-customer, %issue type and the like.
Or is it already possible to specify %prio-customer, %issue type, in a special way.

Having similar issue:
