This PR includes the following fixes:
1. Use `range` instead of `xrange` in `queue_stream.py` to support Python 3.
2. Fix the issue that `utf8_decoder` will return `bytes` rather than `str` when receiving an empty `bytes` in Python 3.
3. Fix the commands in docs so that the user can copy them directly to the command line. The previous commands was broken in the middle of a path, so when copying to the command line, the path would be split to two parts by the extra spaces, which forces the user to fix it manually.
