Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

This will change the documented behavior. Even if allow this change in a new 
feature release, it can't be made in maintained releases.

A tuple of integers is memory excessive and slow. A bytes object is more 
compact (but may be less compact than a string) and faster. But on 
little-endian platform every wchar_t should be converted to big-endian for 
supporting comparison of bytes objects.
