The __bytes__ method could be used to implement a byte representation of
an arbitrary object. The byte representation can then be used to submit
the object over wire or dump it into a file. In Python 2

The plan is to kill __unicode__ and only use __str__. But we're not
quite there yet.

And another problem: mix of __str__ and __unicode__ methods.
class A:
def __str__(self): return '__str__'
Hey Pythonistas!
Victor Stinner just made a good point at #python. The py3k has no magic
method and type slot for bytes. Python has magic methods like __int__
for int(ob) and __str__ for str(ob). Are you considering to add a
__bytes__ method and tp_bytes?
I can think of a bunch of use cases for a
