Comment:
Ahh I think I see what you mean by unicode string returned.
The default `__str__` implementation returns `'%s object' %
self.__class__.__name__` if `hasattr(self, '__unicode__')`.
This isn't really an issue because `self.__class__.__name__` can only
contain ASCII characters on Python 2 and thus the returned string is
always successfully coerced to a bytestring when required unless I'm
missing something.
It wouldn't hurt to simply prefix the default format with a `b` but I
don't think it's worth a backport. Most calls to `__str__` are made
implicitly through `str()` which automatically tries to `encode('ascii')`
when fed `unicode` which will never fail given the nature of
`self.__class__.__name__` on Python 2.
