Description

Setting auto_mount=True when using qlib.__init__ triggers an error:

• the first time you can execute it without any problem, but the second time you will get an error;
• or when you manually mount it, you execute qlib.__init__(auto_mount=True);

In both cases, you will get an error.

AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘decode’.

Reason:
When text=True: stdout.readlines() returns a list of str's. But decode(“utf-8”) is also called here, and str does not have a decode method, so it is reported:
