For the record, we've got a pretty good thread (not this good, though!) over on the numpy list about how to untangle the mess that has resulted from porting text-file-parsing code to py3 (and the underlying issue with the 'S' data type in numpy...)

One note from the github issue: """ The use of asbytes originates only from the fact that b'%d' % (20,) does not work. """ So yeah PEP 461! (even if too late for numpy...)

Would they use "(u'%d' % (20,)).encode('ascii')" for that? Just curious as to what they're planning on doing.
