Comment (by Collin Anderson):
"Django no longer accepts bytestrings in certain code paths"
"Python 3 is stricter about this concept and it's a good thing IMHO." -
Right, it raises an error when you pass bytes, it seems to me Django
should do the same thing.
It seems to me the current behavior is really bad for projects that are
upgrading. Maybe the force_text() calls (#27795) need to be
bytes_not_allowed() or something. (Too late to raise an error for 2.0, but
maybe we could start raising a warning?)
