And I think everyone was well intentioned - and python3 covers most of the bases, but working with binary data is not only a "wire-protocol programmer's" problem. Needing a library to wrap bytesthing.format('ascii', 'surrogateescape') or some such thing makes python3 less approachable for those who haven't learned that yet - which was almost all of us at some point when we started programming.

Totally agree with you.
