Nick Coghlan added the comment:
Re-using an existing minilanguage to mean something completely different
wouldn't be a good idea.
Whether or not we should add any bytes specific features for this at all is
also still an open question, as one of the points raised in the latest
python-ideas thread is that this may be better handled as a general purpose
string splitting method that breaks the string up into fixed size units, which
can then be rejoined with an arbitrary delimeter. For example:
>>> digit_groups = b'\xb9\x01\xef'.hex().splitgroups(2)
>>> ' '.join(digit_groups)
'b9 01 ef'
