TypeError on apollo with python3.6

When loading clock configs to EEPROM with python3 mcu_tools/python/LoadClkConfig_tripletEEPROM.py R0A Cornell_CM_Rev2_HW/ClockBuilderPRO/projects/Si5341-RevD-R0Av0004-Registers.txt --tty ttyUL1 I am getting the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mcu_tools/python/LoadClkConfig_tripletEEPROM.py", line 133, in <module>
    print(get_command("gpio get ID_EEPROM_WP")[-1])

TypeError: ord() expected string of length 1, but int found

It works fine when removing the ord() function from the following line:

mcu_tools/python/LoadClkConfig_tripletEEPROM.py

Line 69 in 9f3a205

if ( len(line) > 0 and ord(line[0]) == 37 ) :

or, decoding a line before using it in the condition
