Here's an example:

Yes, it generates an exception. IOW, UTF-8 is not a bijective mapping
from str objects to bytes objects.
Python 2 might, Python 3 doesn't.
Python 3.3.2 (default, Dec 4 2014, 12:49:00)
[GCC 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-7)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> b'\x80'.decode('utf-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 0:
