One use case is: Suppose you have existing function that accepts a /bytes/ object. If you subclass /bytes/ and want it to be guaranteed to work with that function, you can override/__bytes__()/ to use the logistics of your subclass implementation.
I don't think so, for two reasons: 1) bytes objects do not have a __bytes__ method, 2) if the function is expecting a bytes object, it is unlikely to call bytes() on it. -- ~Ethan~ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
