What is the future of the PEP 467 ("Minor API improvements for binary sequences")? It was not accepted and was not rejected, although there was a rather active discussion.
In addition to what is stated in the PEP, I would like to know your opinion on the additional issue: At present, the repr() and str() of bytes return the same thing - which looks more as "binary string". May be it is better if the repr() will return "binary sequence" -> only escaped hex values. While the str() representation would return the same thing as now (some ascii analogue)? - with kind regards, gdg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
