Thank you for a succinct summary. I presume you are referring in part by
bytes manipulations that would be easier with bytes.format. In
http://bugs.python.org/issue3982
Guido gave approval in principle to a minimal new method a year ago. The
proponents failed to build on that to get anything in 3.4. Finally,
however, Viktor Stinner has written a PEP
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0460/
so something might happen for 3.5.
