* Fixed encoding issue in parse_pyobject by decoding it as latin_1. T…

…his might relate to IPFS Bug #1817 ipfs/kubo#1817

* Added  test for get_pyobject() and add_pyobject() in test/functional/tests.py which works fine.

NB: Other tests in tests.py fail, there might be an issue with the multipart code. At the moment test/functional/tests.py is not evaluated by tox because setup.cfg limits tests to tests/unit.
