I'm about to send 6 or 8 replies to various salient messages in the PEP 332 revival thread. That's probably a sign that there's still a lot to be sorted out. In the mean time, to save you reading through all those responses, here's a summary of where I believe I stand. Let's continue the discussion in this new thread unless there are specific hairs to be split in the other thread that aren't addressed below or by later posts.

I hope bytes objects will be pickle-able? If so, and they support the buffer protocol, then many NumPy users will be very happy.
