Compatibility issue with Maya 2022

[Jordandionduval]

Description

There seems to be issues when running this through maya 2022. I tested with maya 2020 and it works just fine, but 2022 blocks at an error code and can't send through commands to Maya.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Execute "commandPort -name "localhost:7001" -sourceType "mel" -echoOutput;" in maya's script editor
2. Go to visual studio code
3. Type a test code print("hello")
4. First time around: See code output in script editor along with error code
5. Any further attempts: Error code

Expected behavior
Command output in the script editor

Result

 # TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
# ----------------------------------------
# ----------------------------------------
# Exception happened during processing of request from('127.0.0.1', 50484)
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# #   File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2022\Python37\lib\socketserver.py", line 316, in _handle_request_noblock

    self.handle()
# #   File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2022\Python37\lib\site-packages\maya\app\general\CommandPort.py", line 134, in handle
    self.wfile.write(self.server.commandMessageQueue.get() + self.resp_term)
# #   File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2022\Python37\lib\socketserver.py", line 799, in write
    self._sock.sendall(b)

Additional context
The code did go through once, but I couldn't get it to print "hello" after, even after rebooting maya, visual studio code and resetting the port using the command found in visual studio code when I close maya:
commandPort -n "localhost:7001" -stp "mel" -echoOutput;

HI @Jordandionduval

try using this command instead

commandPort -n "localhost:7001" -stp "mel";
