How about a compromise? Personally, I think adding the full complement of integer/float formatting to bytes is a bit over the top. How about just supporting two format specifiers? %b : interpolate a bytes object. If it doesn't have the buffer interface, error. %s : interpolate a str object, encoded to ASCII using 'strict' conversion.

%b is not supported in Python 2.7. And compatibility with Python 2.7 is only the purpose of this feature.
