Why not just use six.byteformat(fmt, *args)? It works on both Python2 and Python3 and accepts the numerical format specifiers, plus '%b' for inserting bytes and '%a' for converting text to ascii.

Sounds like the second best option!

Admittedly it doesn't exist yet, but it could and it would save a lot of arguing :)
