simulator.py/RpcHandler() needs encode/decode to work these days

[kiml]

I needed to make the following change (Python 3.9) to make this code work.

@@ -90,13 +90,13 @@ class RpcHandler(SocketServer.BaseRequestHandler):
"""This function is called automatically by the SocketServer"""
# self.request is the TCP socket connected to the client
# read the incoming command

•    request = self.request.recv(1024).strip()
  

•    request = self.request.recv(1024).decode().strip()
     # write to the queue waiting to be processed by the server
     INPUT_QUEUE.put(request)
     # wait for the server answer in the output queue
     response = OUTPUT_QUEUE.get(timeout=5.0)
     # send back the answer
  

•    self.request.send(response)
  

•    self.request.send(response.encode())

Hello, thanks for proposal. Can you please make a PR with this code. Is it still works in prior version of Python 3?
