In the discussions about os.environ, the suggested approach was to just tack a 'b' onto the end of the name to get the bytes version (i.e. os.environb). That aligns nicely with the b"" prefix for bytes literals, and isn't much of a typing or reading burden when dealing with the bytes API instead of the text one. A similar naming scheme (i.e. msg.headers and msg.headersb) would probably work for email as well.
