New submission from Paul Moore:
See the following test (in Python 3.5):
>>> u'a\nb£'.encode('utf-8').splitlines()
['a', 'b\xc2\xa3']
I encode a string in UTF-8, then use the (bytes) splitlines function on it. The
return value is a list of strings, containing encoded byte values.
The bytes object isn't even documented as having a splitlines method - and if
it does, then it should be returning a list of bytes objects.
