While I don't agree with his assessment of Python 3 in total, I definitely feel his pain with regards to bytestrings in Py3 -- because they don't exist. 'bytes' /looks/ like a bytestring, but really it's just a bunch of integers:
--> b'abc 'b'abc' --> b'abc'[1] 98 Maybe for 3.5 somebody *cough* will make a bytestring type for those of us who have to support the lower-level protocols... -- ~Ethan~ *Cast your vote over on Python Ideas! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
