Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

The problem with trying to solve the following issue:
   "a bytes instance from python3 is pickled as custom class in
protocols <3"
is that if we pickle bytes from Python 3 as a 2.x str in protocol <= 2,
unpickling it using Python 3 will yield a str (unicode), not a bytes
object. Therefore the whole chain (pickling then unpickling) will not be
idempotent.
