The PEP proposes b'%c' % 4 => b'\x04. Antoine gave me a good argument against supporting b'%s' % int: how would int subclasses be handled? int has no __bytes__() nor __bformat__() method. bytes(int) returns a string of null bytes. I'm maybe simpler to only support %s format with bytes-like objects (bytes, bytearray, memoryview).
