Consider this:

b'abc'

Looks reasonable. Then consider this:

str(bytes("abc", encoding="utf-8"))
"b'abc'"

Why is the b'...' bit still there? I suppose it's because I didn't tell it
explicitly how to decode the bytes object, as when I do, I get the expected
result:

str(bytes("abc", encoding="utf-8"), encoding="utf-8")
'abc'

str() without 'encoding' and 'errors' calls __str__ which falls back to __repr__ by default.

bytes.__str__ falls back to bytes.__repr__, this makes errors of mixing bytes and strings more obvious. If run Python with the -b option, it will emit a BytesWarning first. If run it with -bb, it will become an error.

You can receive many interesting warning when run Python 2 with options -b and -3. Getting rid of these warnings will help with porting to Python 3 and may fix real bugs.
