That seems strange. As I recall, the *_W APIs are “wide character” ones. So in Python 3, they > should both map to <str> type. <bytes> applies only to non-text data.
At least for text properties like e.g. PR_SUBJECT_A / _W the former returns a mbcs encoded "string", i.e. of bytes type and the latter a 2-byte unicode string. Binary properties are always returned as bytes in contrast to earlier when using pyrhon2.
