Excellent. This fix is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you! We have several zero bytes in our data matrix. |

We are using this fix for 6 months now. Maybe it is worthwile merging this pull request despite the slide coverage loss. |

Hi,
I needed to be able to decode datamatrix codes that were originally encoded with the base256 scheme, but the current decoding support was only for strings. Zero bytes in the payload were problematic. So, I added an optional argument binary= to the decode() call.
I'm using Python 3.6 under ubuntu 18.04 for my development. It seems to pass the existing tests in the tests folder on my box, but I don't know if I created a regression for other platforms or Python versions.
I also did not expand the tests to cover binary payload.
I'm not sure if this is the best way to accomplish what I attempted, but it seems to work for me.
This is my first pull request, so I hope I did it correctly. Thanks!
