Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I would like to see this and issue 8934 discussed as a usability bug. As far as I can tell, the current state of affairs an unintended by-product of a rushed effort to split the standard library to bytes apis and unicode apis. I don't see any reason that we should have to live with this forever.
