+1 I have always been delighted that it is possible to manipulate binary data in Python using string operations. It's not just immoral non-Unicode text processing. A poor man's ASN.1 generator is an example of a very non-text thing that might be convenient to write with a few %s fill-in-the-blanks.
Isn't it true that if you have bytes > 127 or surrogate escapes then encoding to latin1 is no longer as fast as memcpy?
