Well - one can already do:
x = bytes.fromhex
x("01 23 45 67 89")
As for base64, I really, really, don't see a use case where allowing base64
native strings as
part oif the syntax could be useful - less so when decoding is one call
away.
Base64 was already created to allow one to convey arbitrary
Refer to PEP 3137 and PEP 358.
Bytes objects are for conveying binary data (or encoded strings). Such binary
data is customary specified in hex-dump or base64 format in source files.
It would be nice to introduce a way in python to do that 'natively' (at lexical
analysis time) using x-strings an
