Type error for params of sdl_CreateWindow using PySdl2

The following code fragment:

self.width = 640
self.height = 400

self.window = sdl2.SDL_CreateWindow (
    'OpenGL test',
    sdl2.SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
    sdl2.SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
    self.width,
    self.height,
    sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL | sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE
)

gives this error on Windows:

Seems there's something wrong with this parameter:

sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL | sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE

Using:

Strange thing is this used to work on Python 2.7.

Anyone knows what could be the problem?

It's the (beep) unicode thing. Correct code:

self.width = 640
self.height = 400

self.window = sdl2.SDL_CreateWindow (
    b'OpenGL test',     #!!!!!!! Note the b !!!!!!!
    sdl2.SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
    sdl2.SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
    self.width,
    self.height,
    sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL | sdl2.SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE
)

And the error message showed the wrong line, which doesn't help.
