Sorry, I meant str(123).encode("ascii"), and I'd probably use a helper
function for it.
I could easily argue at this point that this is the type of bug that
having %-formatting operations on bytes would encourage - %s means
"format a string" (from years of C and Python (text) experience) so I
automatically supply a string argument when using %s in a bytes
formatting context.
The reality is that I was probably just being sloppy, though :-)
