I've just tried asciistr using your test code (having corrected the typo, it's assertIsInstance, not assertIsinstance :) and it looks like a very good starting point. Have you, or anyone else for that matter, actually tried asciistr out?

Ah, thanks for that fix, and thanks for trying it out. Um, how exactly did you try it out? This is what I did:

bytestring_test.py

from asciicompat import asciistr as bytestring

...
