Steven D'Aprano <steve+pyt...@pearwood.info> added the comment:
I think you have missed something important here:
>>> data = b'foo\bar'
>>> len(data)
6
>>> print(data)
b'foo\x08ar'
If you want bytes including a backslash followed by a b, you need to use raw
bytes rb'foo\bar' or escape the backslash.
Also Python 3.8 is in feature-freeze so the earliest this new feature could be
added to the language is now 3.11.
