Ezio Melotti added the comment:

Instead of documenting what *encoding* and *errors* do, I would just say that 
str(bytesobj, encoding, errors) is equivalent to bytesobj.decode(encoding, 
errors) (assuming it really is).  I don't like encodings/decodings done via the 
str/bytes constructors, and I think the docs should encourage the use of 
bytes.decode/str.encode.
