Multiple errors while trying to convert binary pcd file

[boazMgm]

Hi, I'm using Pypcd version 0.1.1 and python 3.8.10 I'm getting multiple errors while trying to parse binary pcd file (Nuscenes). the one I'm stuck on right now is in line 282: if ln.startswith('DATA'): TypeError: startswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not str

The code should understand if this is binary or ascii. Is there a solution or a different version that works? btw, just changing to (b'DATA') will create an error in a different place.

Thanks

Hi, since this project seems to be inactive I forked it and started to improve some things. You can find it here: pypcd-imp or install it right away via pip install pypcd_imp. If the issue is still present there feel free to reopen it in my repo and I will try to fix it.
