Can you give an example of code that is nearly acceptable to you, which works in Python 2 and 3 today, and explain what improvements you would like to see to it in order to use it instead of waiting for a core change?

I'm not a developer, but I'm trying to understand how in v3 I accomplish what in v2 is easy: len(open('chars','wb').write("".join(map (chr,range(256)))).read()) What's the v3 equivalent?

That's actually very easy and shows a strength of the bytes type, since there's no text involved:

open('chars', 'wb').write(bytes(range(256)))
