While I don't agree with his assessment of Python 3 in total, I definitely feel his pain with regards to bytestrings in 
Py3 -- because they don't exist.  'bytes' /looks/ like a bytestring, but really it's just a bunch of integers:

--> b'abc
'b'abc'
--> b'abc'[1]
98

Maybe for 3.5 somebody *cough* will make a bytestring type for those of us who have to support the lower-level protocols...
