bootstrap_eb.py, version 20200203.01, error installing distribute_setup.py #3200
Description
Trying the new bootstrap_eb.py, and I get this

The code that it refers to, File "bootstrap_eb.py", line 431, in stage0, is
txt = re.sub(r'([^\n]*)(return subprocess.call\(args)(\) == 0)',

where

and
if IS_PY3:
DISTRIBUTE_SETUP_PY = DISTRIBUTE_SETUP_PY.encode('ascii')
DISTRIBUTE_SETUP_PY = codecs.decode(codecs.decode(DISTRIBUTE_SETUP_PY, "base64"), "zlib")
It looks like the decoding of DISTRIBUTE_SETUP_PY may now result in a byte-stream instead of a string, so the regular expression is carping.
[bennet@lh-build tmp]$ python bootstrap_eb.py /tmp/hinky
DISTRIBUTE_SETUP_PY is
<type 'str'>
[bennet@lh-build tmp]$ python3 bootstrap_eb.py /tmp/hinky
DISTRIBUTE_SETUP_PY is
<class 'bytes'>
Converting it to a string with DISTRIBUTE_SETUP_PY = str(DISTRIBUTE_SETUP_PY) results in
