py3: use raw strings and %d for formatting

Before the string compares on Python 3 failed because we were
comparing bytes to str. Using raw strings ensures we are
always comparing str.

While we're here, also use %d to format integers.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
