      Description

      When trying to view a binary .gz or avro file in the File Browser when Hue is run using Python 3.7, it is now frequently failing with the below stack trace.

      I tried decoding the value of "contents" in def mask_not_printable(), but this just causes other downstream errors, namely in def xxd() where "line_ordinals" is mapped.  Both errors seem like Python2 to Python3 conversion problems given the differences in how Python 3 handles bytes objects, but I couldn't figure it out.  Commenting out the xxd calls in filebrowser/views.py works around the user seeing 500 errors, but they they are only able to view the binary files as text.
