Convert returned binary data from call() to string

This changes is based on the same cause as
commit 6ea4b6f95f85e8a425e827ddddc5f2caa06755c3

subprocess.check_output() returns binary data as output. In python2,
binary is basically an alias of str so it can be directly used as a
normal string. However in python3 the binary data is different to a
string. Inserting binary data into a string in python3 generates
strings like '/some/path/with/b'binary'/data/inserted' which are not
correct file paths. We must decode() the returned data in order to use
it as a string.
