Right, and there are other standard library modules (cgi, ftplib, nntplib, etc) that either need fixing or auditing as to how they handle bytes / strings.

If you wanted to help with the documentation of the stdlib, one thing that needs to be done is run doctest over the examples. See http://bugs.python.org/issue9730 for an example where the examples were not properly ported (two 'b' prefixes need to be added). Of course, there are other errors to be found.

More contributions from additional contributors are welcome!
