[Python-Dev] use case for bytes.format

2010-12-12 Thread Zeljko
I'm considering to write some pure python pdf lib from from scratch, but found 
there is no built-in formating for bytes. 
It's very frustrating to use some inefficient surogate funtion, which is gong 
to 
be called thousands times.

Bytes do, but you should use text str for general text manipulation.

This sentence has 3 spelling mistakes, 2 of which would be caught with a 
mail client like Thunderbird (free) that has spelling correction. Please 
consider switching.
