Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment:

Victor: I don't see an API change here.  A ValueError is raised in both cases, 
and error messages are not part of the API. (And BTW, you may call me Georg.)

Senthil: I'd like the documentation change to be a bit more explicit that a 
string is always returned.  Since the string must be encoded, it would also be 
helpful to mention which encoding to use.

The new exception message looks slightly incorrect to me: the argument can also 
be an iterable of bytes.
