%c will insert a single byte, either from an int in range(256), or from a bytes argument of length 1.

what does

x = 354 b"%c" % x

produce? Seems that construct produces a value dependent error in both python 2 & 3 (although it takes a much bigger value to produce the error in python 3, with str %... with bytes %, the problem with be reached at 256, just like python 2).

Is this an intended exception to the overriding principle?
