Because in IronPython str is just an alias for Unicode. I think it would
be extremely broken for us to alias all 3 to unicode especially when bytes
clearly has a different meaning.
Hmm... interesting. :-)

Unfortunately there's probably going to continue to be a bunch of corner
cases related to bytes/str/unicode until we move to 3.0. But hopefully
we can come up w/ reasonable workarounds for most of them.
In this case it seems like we should define __str__ on bytes and make
it return a Unicode string w/o the b''. We can keep repr in there so
that an explicit repr still gives you the b'' representation...
Ahh, I can't wait until Ipy 3.0!
In Python 2.6 the bytes type is just an alias for str I believe, am I
incorrect? If I am correct why is IronPython 2.6 taking a different
approach?

Hello,
Lets create a bytes instance from a str, and convert it back to a str.
a = bytes(ord(c) for c in "Hello World")
a
b'Hello World'
str(a)
"b'Hello World'"
As you can see, the leading b and the quotes become part of the string,
which is unexpected. I guess the conversion is using __repr__ where it
should use __str__.
Cheers,
Rob
