Hm. Well, the strings from 2.x are byte strings in 3.x, so.
But then there's this:
$ python2
[...]
>>> 'foo'.replace('f', 'g')
'goo'
>>> u'foo'.replace('f', 'g')
u'goo'
$ python3
[...]
>>> 'foo'.replace('f', 'g')
'goo'
>>> b'foo'.replace('f', 'g')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
So that just doesn't work for the next patch. How about I just drop the
bytes test and if at some point someone feels the need to add it, we can
think about it again?
