Perhaps the constructor for a byte array could accept a string argument as long as it contained only ascii characters?

h.putrequest(bytes('GET'), selector)

That is probably most reasonable. It would be harmless to extend it to Latin-1, which would allow to represent all byte values in a string literal - even using the appropriate \x escapes.
