Hm. That is a good point. Possibly it could only be done when
from __future__ import unicode_literals
has been used. For example:
python2 -3
Python 2.7.5 <snip>
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> type(b"a") == type("a")
True
>>> from __future__ import unicode_literals
>>> type(b"a") == type("a")
False
>>> b"a" == "a"
True
>>> b"a" + "a"
u'aa'
>>>
After unicode_literals is used, then b"a" and "a" have a different type and the
same code would be an issue in python3:
python3
Python 3.3.2 <snip>
>>> type(b"a") == type("a")
False
>>> b"a" == "a"
False
>>> b"a" + "a"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: can't concat bytes to str
>>>
