Rob, there has been a *lot* of discussion about this for Decimal (see
the PEP and discussions in python-dev and python-list around the PEP
date).
The main issue here is what

The reason that dicts (and sets) are even worse is that the comparison
could be delayed. If
b"bytes" in [...]

Hi,
I wrote another patch with two improvment: use small integer cache and use
Python memory allocation functions. Now GMP overhead (pystones result) is
only -2% and not -20% (previous patch).
Since the patch is huge, I prefer to leave copy on my server:

I see no other solution to this thread than to revert the decision
that comparing bytes and str raises TypeError. It may catch a trivial
mistake or two, but the far from trivial, subtle issues it causes for
more sophisticated code just aren't worth it. I'll add this to PEP
3137.

Thanks all for the focused and helpful discussion on this PEP. Here's
a new posting of the full text of the PEP as it now stands. Most of
the changes since the first posting are fleshing out of some details;
the decision to make the individual elements of bytes and buffer be
ints; and the decision
+1 from me.

Could you explain what your goal is here? MPF isn't currently part of
the standard library, so it probably should

A simple way to add specific pickling support for bytes/buffer objects
would be to define two new constants:
BYTES = b'\x8c' # push a bytes object
BUFFER =

+1 from me.
I like that the str will not support the buffer API because it gets rid
of one of the flags in the PEP 3118 API that was only there to support
the abuse of the buffer API by unicode objects.
