I think Brett has the right idea: we shouldn't try to accept numbers for %s in binary interpolation. If we limit it to just buffer exporters and objects with a bytes method then the problem goes away. The numeric codes all exist in Python 2, so the porting requirement to the common 2/3 subset will be to update the cases of binary interpolation of a number with %s to use an appropriate numeric formatting code instead. +1

Agreed, PEP updated.
