From what I've seen of the unicode formatting code, a lot would have to be rewritten or refactored. It is a non-trivial task, definitely inappropriate for 3.4.
I do not know the stringlib well enough, so I have a silly question:
Would it be possible to re-use the 2.x stringlib just for the bytes type, name it byteslib and disable features as appropriate?
