I needed to parse VCF files that I could only open in byte mode (it was streamed files), therefore I adapted the code in order to do so. The only modifications are to decode bytes to str when needed, in order to be compliant with the 'str.startswith' methods.
With this version it is now possible to give files opened in 'rb' mode to the Reader.
