So what's the use case for Python 2/3 compatible code? IMO the main use case
for the PEP is simply to be able to
construct bytes from a combination of a template and some input that may
include further bytes and numbers. E.g. in
asyncio when you write an HTTP client or server you have to construct bytes to
write to the socket, and I'd be happy if
I could write b'HTTP/1.0 %d %b\r\n' % (status, message) rather than having to
use str(status).encode('ascii') and
concatenation or join().
My own dbf module [1] would make use of this feature, and I'm sure some of the pdf modules would as well (I recall
somebody chiming in about their own pdf module).
