The opponents of %-interpolation (Nick, Antoine, Turnbull, D'Aprano, et al*) all seem to be arguing basically what Nick said. The proponents (myself, you, Stufft, Eric Smith, et al*) are arguing that bytes already has an ASCII bias, already has ASCII string methods, that it isn't the same as the Py2 world because if you combine a bytes object with a str object outside of interpolation (such as b'hello' + 'world') it doesn't work, that only bytes would ever be returned, etc, etc. With the possible exception of the question I just asked Nick, I don't think we're going to get any new information. I suppose you're used to not being able to please everybody. :/ -- ~Ethan~ * et al means everyone whose name I couldn't remember, or figure out which camp you were in in the wee hours of the night.
