One use case (and the only one I'm aware of) is to pass keyword parameters. Python 2 insists that they are str (and doesn't accept unicode), Python 3 insists that they are str (and doesn't accept bytes). This is fairly uncommon as a problem, though, and is also solved in Python 2.6, which does accept Unicode strings as keyword parameter names.
