Anyway, this whole discussion about a new bytes type doesn't really solve the problem that the b'...' literal was intended for: that of having a nice way to define (read-only) 8-bit binary string literals.
But why do you need a way to spell 8-bit string literals? You can always do
"string".encode("L1")If that is too much typing, do
def b(s):return s.encode("L1")
b("string")Regards, Martin
