<p dir="ltr">Note that I've tried to find prettier ways to write the standard library's URL parsing code. In addition to the original alternatives I explored, I'm currently experimenting with a generic function based approach with mixed results. I'm reserving judgement until I see how the completed conversion looks, but currently it doesn't seem any simpler than my current higher order function approach.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, the implicit conversions are *critical* to sharing constants between the two code paths in Python 2 without coercing bytes to str or vice-versa (disabling the implicit coercion breaks Unicode handling), so I'm still not sure the goal is achievable without creating a new type *specifically* for that task.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Python 3 only code is generally much simpler - you can usually pick binary or text and just support one of them, rather than trying to support both in the same API.</p>
