Espruino on LeafLabs' Maple Rev5 board?

I'm new to Espruino, and I would like to run it on the LeafLabs' Maple board Rev5. Would the Olimexino's bootloader, espruino_1v63_olimexino_stm32.bin, work with Maple?
I have, however, received following errors trying to flash the Maple board:

C:\Temp>python stm32loader.py -k -p COM10 -evw espruino_1v63_olimexino_stm32.bin
Reading data from espruino_1v63_olimexino_stm32.bin
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "stm32loader.py", line 518, in
```
data = read(args[0])
```
File "stm32loader.py", line 419, in read
```
if bytes.startswith('\x7FELF'):
```
TypeError: startswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not str

AS far as I understood, the error is with reading the flash image itself, or something wrong with the stm32loader.py? Any help and advice is very much appreciated.

It might be a python or python version issue:

Thanks a lot, I've downgraded to Python ver 2.7 (was running 3.3), and it works, the Maple board is running Espruino now!!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
